The Government submitted that the claims lodged by Mr Andriyevsky (application no. 21159/08) and Ms Anisimova (application no. 45120/08) were excessive. They also asserted that the rest of the applicants were not entitled to restoration of their title to the property.
The Court takes into account that the fact that it has found a violation of the applicants’ rights as guaranteed by Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention in the present case. It considers that there is a clear link between the violation found and the damage caused to the applicants.
As regards compensation of pecuniary damage, the Court reiterates that normally, the priority under Article 41 of the Convention is restitutio in integrum, as the respondent State is expected to make all feasible reparation for the consequences of the violation, in such a manner as to restore as far as possible the situation existing before the breach (see, among other authorities, Piersack v. Belgium (Article 50), 26 October 1984, § 12, Series A no. 85; Tchitchinadze v. Georgia, no. 18156/05, § 69, 27 May 2010; Fener Rum (Ecumenical Patriarchy) v. Turkey (just satisfaction), no. 14340/05, § 35, 15 June 2010; and Stoycheva v. Bulgaria, no. 43590/04, 19 July 2011).
The Court observes that all the applicants, except for Mr Andriyevskiy (application no. 21159/08), Ms Anisimova (application no. 45120/08) and Ms Vasyukhina and Mr Vasyukhin (application (no. 45173/08) asked for the restoration of the title to the rooms. Having regard to its findings and the fact that the applicants are still living in the premises, the Court considers that the most appropriate form of redress would be the restoration of the applicants’ title to the rooms. Thus, as far as possible, the applicants would be put in a situation equivalent to the one in which they would have been had there not been a breach of Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention (compare Gladysheva, cited above, § 106).
The Court considers that the same finding holds true in respect of Mr Andrievskiy and Ms Anisimova, who asked for certain sums to be paid so that they could buy comparable housing for themselves (compare, Gladysheva, ibid., in which the Court decided that the applicant would be put as far as possible in a situation equivalent to the one in which she would have been had there not been a breach of her rights, even though the applicant asked for a pecuniary award).
As to Ms Vasyukhina and Mr Vasyukhin (application no. 45173/08), The Court is considers that the question of the application of Article 41, in so far as it concerns pecuniary damage, is not ready for a decision (Rule 75 § 1 of the Rules of Court). Accordingly, it reserves that question and the further procedure, and invites the Government and the applicants, within four months from the date on which the judgment becomes final in accordance with Article 44 § 2 of the Convention, to submit their observations on the matter and, in particular, to inform it of any agreement that they may reach.
The Court further notes that Mr Andriyevskiy (application no. 21159/08) did not submit a claim in respect of non-pecuniary damage. Accordingly, the Court considers that there is no call to award him any sum on that account.
As regards the remaining parts of the applications, the Court has no doubt that the applicants have suffered distress and frustration on account of being deprived of their possessions. Making its assessment on an equitable basis, the Court awards EUR 5,000 in each application in respect of non-pecuniary damage, plus any tax that may be chargeable on that amount.
Mr Andriyevskiy (application no. 21159/08) and Ms Kobina (application no. 2555/08) did not submit claims for costs and expenses. Accordingly, the Court considers that there is no call to award them any sum on that account.
Ms Anisimova (application no. 45120/08) claimed RUB 8,009.40 and RUB 4,000 in respect of the legal costs and expenses incurred in the proceedings before the domestic courts and the Court respectively. She further claimed postal expenses (RUB 509.40), translation costs (RUB 3,000), and the costs of issuing a certificate relating to her eyesight (RUB 500).
The remaining applicants claimed EUR 16,800 in respect of their joint legal costs and expenses incurred in the proceedings before the Court. According to the documents submitted, their representatives spent over 156 hours working on the case.
Ms Russkova (application no. 45141/08) and Mr Bolshakov (application no. 45167/08) also claimed compensation for postal expenses in the amount of RUB 2,470 and RUB 1,715 respectively.
Lastly, Threefold Legal Advisors claimed EUR 328 for proofreading their memorandum and RUB 3,010 for postal expenses incurred in posting the applicant’s authority forms.
The Government submitted that the expenses incurred by Ms Anisimova in obtaining a medical certificate had no link to her application before the Court. Nor should she be entitled to the reimbursement of her legal expenses relating to the proceedings before the Court, since she had entered into a contingency agreement with her lawyer, and such an agreement was null and void under Russian law. The Government also submitted that the legal fee paid by the applicants to Threefold Legal Advisors was excessive and unnecessary.
According to the Court’s case-law, an applicant is entitled to the reimbursement of costs and expenses only in so far as it has been shown that these have been actually and necessarily incurred and are reasonable as to quantum. Regard being had to the documents in the Court’s possession and the above criteria, the Court considers it reasonable to award the applicants the following sums in respect of their claims for costs and expenses:
Application no. Amount awarded
20578/08 EUR 280
22903/08 EUR 280
24519/08 EUR 280
