that the judgment of 17 December 2001, upheld on appeal on 19 February 2002, was erroneous in that the applicant's claims had been accepted. The prosecutor submitted that the terms of the friendly settlement should have been applied to the applicant's claims against the Bank and thus his action against the ARKO should have been dismissed.
23. On 15 May 2002 the Presidium of the Voronezh Regional Court, by way of supervisory-review proceedings, quashed the judgments of 17 December 2001 and 19 February 2002 and remitted the case for a fresh examination. The Presidium noted that the District and Regional courts erred in assessing the facts of the case and that the terms of the friendly settlement should be applicable to the applicant because the information about the general assembly of the Bank's creditors and the draft of the friendly settlement had been published in the press.
24. On 2 July 2003 the Zheleznodorozhniy District Court made a new judgment in the applicant's favour and awarded him USD 30,919.40, relying on the same line of arguments as in its previous judgment of 17 December 2001 and citing the case-law of the European Court of Human Rights. That judgment was also quashed on appeal by the Voronezh Regional Court. The case was again sent for re-examination on 13 November 2003.
25. On 20 December 2004 the Zheleznodorozhniy District Court of Voronezh again issued the judgment in the applicant's favour, although reducing the amount of the award to USD 20.841,68. The judgment was quashed by the Voronezh Regional Court and the proceedings were discontinued because the ARKO had ceased to exist as a legal entity.
THE LAW
I. Preliminary considerations
26. The Court observes at the outset that in his application lodged with the Court on 9 September 2002 the applicant complained about the authorities' failure to enforce the judgment of 10 March 1999 and about the quashing, by way of a supervisory review, of the judgment of 17 December 2001, as upheld on appeal on 19 February 2002. In his observations, lodged with the Court in March 2006, the applicant informed the Court that the judgment of 10 March 1999 had been quashed on a supervisory review, following which a new judgment in the case was adopted on 29 February 2000. He put forward an additional complaint arguing that the authorities had failed to enforce the new judgment issued in his favour on 29 February 2000.
27. In this connection the Court reiterates that it has jurisdiction to review, in the light of the entirety of the Convention's requirements, the circumstances complained of by an applicant. In the performance of its task, the Court is free to attribute to the facts of the case, as established on the evidence before them, a characterisation in law different from that given by the applicant or, if need be, to view the facts in a different manner. Furthermore, they have to take into account not only the original application but also the additional documents intended to complete the latter by eliminating initial omissions or obscurities (see Ringeisen v. Austria, judgment of 16 July 1971, Series A No. 13, pp. 40 - 41, § 98, as compared with p. 34, § 79, and pp. 39 - 40, §§ 96 - 97).
28. Turning to the present case, the Court observes that the new complaint pertaining to the non-enforcement of the judgment of 29 February 2000 was submitted after the notice of the initial application had been given to the Government on 29 April 2005. In the Court's view, the new non-enforcement complaint is not an elaboration of his original complaints lodged to the Court more than three years earlier, on which the parties have already commented. The Court therefore decides not to examine the new complaint within the framework of the present proceedings (see Nuray {Sen} v. Turkey (No. 2) judgment of 30 March 2004, No. 25354/94, § 200
