They were represented before the Court by Mr   R.   Mustafazade, a lawyer practising in Azerbaijan. 2.     The Azerbaijani Government (“the Government”) are represented by their Agent, Mr Ç.   Asgarov. A.     The circumstances of the case 3.     The facts of the case, as submitted by the parties, may be summarised as follows. 4.     On 5   January 2009 all five applicants were dismissed from their jobs in the “Sintezkauchuk” plant belonging to the publicly owned “Azerkimya” Company. The applicants lodged separate court actions seeking reinstatement and payment of their salaries for the period of obliged unemployment. On different dates, the Sumgait City Court upheld the applicants’ requests and ordered their reinstatement and payment of due salaries (see table appended). On 17   June 2009 the Court of Appeal dismissed the defendant’s appeal and upheld the judgments of the first ‑ instance court. 5.     The “Sintezkauchuk” plant lodged a cassation appeal and on different dates the Supreme Court delivered decisions dismissing the cassation appeal and upholding the judgments of 17 June 2009, except in Ms   Dunyamaliyeva’s case (application no. 62385/09), where the Supreme Court quashed the judgment of 17 June 2009 and remitted the case to the Sumgayit Court of Appeal for a fresh examination. On 17 February 2010 the Sumgayit Court of Appeal upheld again the judgment of the first-instance court in favour of the applicant. Apparently, no cassation appeal was lodged against this judgment. 6.     On 15 April 2010, by an order of the “Sintezkauchuk” plant the applicants were reinstated in their positions and their salary for the period of obliged unemployment was paid. On 23 June 2011 the Sumgayit City Court terminated the enforcement proceedings with respect to the applicants’ cases. COMPLAINTS 7.     The applicants complained under Article 6 of the Convention and Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention about the continued non ‑ enforcement of the judgments delivered in their favour. THE LAW 8.     Having regard to the similarity of the issues under the Convention in the above cases, the Court decides to join the applications and consider them in a single decision. 9.     On 6 May 2011 the Court communicated to the respondent Government the complaints concerning the non-enforcement of the judgments in the applicants’ favour. 10.     The Government submitted that the judgments delivered in applicants’ favour had been fully enforced on 15 April 2010. The applicants were reinstated to their positions and paid their salary for the period of obliged unemployment. The Government argued that, as the judgments were enforced within the period of less than one year after the relevant judgments of the Court of Appeal, the applicants cannot claim to be victims of the alleged violations. Accordingly, they invited the Court to declare the applications inadmissible. 11.     The applicants confirmed that the judgments had been enforced on 15 April 2010. Nevertheless, they requested the Court to order the payment of a total amount of EUR 194 to each applicant for the losses suffered as a result of inflation. 12.     The Court observes, and it is not contested by the parties, that the court judgments were executed in full. It further recalls that a delay in the execution of a judgment may be justified in particular circumstances (see Burdov v. Russia , no. 59498/00, § 35, ECHR 2002-III, and Timofeyev v.   Russia , no. 58263/00, § 37, 23 October 2003). In the present case the overall period during which each court judgment remained unenforced was less than a year, which does not appear excessive (see Grishchenko v.   Russia (dec.), no. 75907/01, 8 July 2004 and Presnyakov v. Russia (dec.), no. 41145/02, 10 November 2005). 13.     Having regard to the circumstances of the case, the Court finds that the judgments were enforced within a reasonable time. It follows that the applications are manifestly ill-founded and must be rejected pursuant to Article 35 §§ 3 and 4 of the Convention. For these reasons, the Court unanimously Decides to join the applications; Declares the applications inadmissible.   André Wampach   Julia Laffranque   Deputy Registrar   President APPENDIX   No. Application no.
