5.  The applicant was born in 1941 and lives in Birkerod, Denmark. 6.  On 11 April 1995 the applicant formed a limited company, N.R. Group Ltd. (“the company”) together with a Turkish partner, N.K., to provide tourist services in Alanya, Turkey. 7.  On 19 March 1997 the applicant applied to the Alanya Civil Court of First Instance to cancel N.K.’s management authority. On 2 October 1997 the court ordered the cancellation and on 18 May 1998 it appointed a trustee for the company. Meanwhile, it was discovered that the applicant’s partner N.K. had fraudulently transferred the company’s assets to a new company. 8.  On 8 July 1997, the applicant brought two civil cases against N.K. before the Alanya Civil Court of First Instance and sought compensation for his loss incurred due to the fraudulent acts of N.K. The court decided to join the compensation cases and to examine them together. 9.  On 7 June 2005 the Alanya Civil Court of First Instance accepted the applicant’s compensation claim and granted him the equivalent of 203,000 deutschmarks (DEM) (103,792 euros (EUR) at the time) with statutory interest for his loss, to be paid in Euros, and DEM 10,000 (EUR 7,158 at the time) in compensation without interest of 40% (inkar tazminatı), to be paid in Turkish Lira (TRY). The court further ruled that the legal costs and expenses of the proceedings were to be borne by N.K. 10.  On an unspecified day the applicant requested that the judgment be served on him in order to commence enforcement proceedings. The court rejected the request, stating that it was not possible to provide the judgment unless the charge required by section 28(1) (a) of Law no. 492 (Code of Charges) had been paid. 11.  The applicant was therefore unable to lodge enforcement proceedings in order to have the above-mentioned judgment executed.
