he applicant"), on 8 January 2004.
2. The Russian Government ("the Government") were initially represented by Mrs V. Milinchuk, former Representative of the Russian Federation at the European Court of Human Rights, and subsequently by their Representative, Mr G. Matyushkin.
3. On 29 May 2008 the President of the First Section decided to give notice of the application to the Government. It was also decided to rule on the admissibility and merits of the application at the same time (Article 29 § 3).
THE FACTS
I. The circumstances of the case
4. The applicant was born in 1975 and lives in Maykop, Republic of Adygeya.
5. The applicant worked in the Supreme Court of the Republic of Adygeya ("the Supreme Court of the RA") as a consultant. While she was on maternity leave her position was converted to that of assistant to the President of the Supreme Court of the RA. On her return the applicant was offered various posts, but not the newly created position of assistant to the President. She refused those offers and was dismissed.
6. On 17 July 2001 the applicant lodged a court action against the Supreme Court of the RA with the Maykop Town Court of the Republic of Adygeya ("the Town Court"). She requested the Town Court to reinstate her to her previous position, recover unpaid salary and award compensation for non-pecuniary damage. In the course of the proceedings the applicant amended her claims.
A. First examination of the case
7. On 2 August 2001 the court fixed the first hearing for 6 August 2001. However, on that date the proceedings were postponed until 20 August 2001 because the applicant and her child were sick.
8. On 20 August 2001 the applicant requested the Town Court to postpone the examination of the case until her request to have the case referred to a different court had been examined by a higher court. She also objected to one of the judges sitting in the case.
9. On 20 August 2001 the Town Court dismissed her request and the objection to the judge and rejected her claims as unsubstantiated.
10. On 18 September 2001 the Supreme Court of the RA upheld that judgment.
B. Supervisory review and second examination of the case
11. On 25 November 2002 the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation ("the Supreme Court"), following a request for supervisory review by the Deputy Prosecutor General of Russia, found that the lower courts had erroneously interpreted the substantive law. On those grounds it quashed the judgment of 20 August 2001, as upheld on 18 September 2001, and remitted the case to the Town Court for a fresh examination.
12. On 11 February 2003 the Town Court fixed the hearing for 17 February 2003. However, on that date the proceedings were postponed, at the applicant's request, until the Supreme Court had examined her request to have the case referred to a different court.
13. On 4 March 2003 the Supreme Court replied to the applicant that there were no grounds to refer her case to a different court.
14. On 16 April 2003 the Town Court, after a fresh examination, found that the applicant's dismissal had been unlawful, ordered the Supreme Court of the RA to reinstate the applicant to her position, pay her salary arrears and compensation for non-pecuniary damage. The Supreme Court of the RA appealed against the judgment of 16 April 2003.
15. On 5 May 2003 the applicant requested the Supreme Court to refer her case to a different appeal court on the ground that the judges of the Supreme Court of the RA should not examine an appeal lodged by the Supreme Court of the RA. That would amount to a violation of her right to an independent and impartial tribunal. On the same date the applicant lodged an objection to all the judges of the Supreme Court of the RA a
