ABOUT 100 CITIZENS APPLY TO RA OMBUDSMAN REGRADING RESORATION OF THEIR RIGHT
TO RECEIVE COMPENSATION
YEREVAN, AUGUST 3, NOYAN TAPAN. About 100 citizens, whose health
suffered during the process of work but who were deprived of the right
to receive compensation, have applied to the RA Ombudsman Office. NT
was informed about it from the RA Ombudsman Information and PR
Department. Under the RA government decision No. 579 of November 15,
1992, point 16, if an organization stops operating as a result of its
liquidation or restructuring, the damage done to health is compensated
by its legal successor, and in case of the latter's absence - by
the social security body with state budget resources. Article 1086
of the RA Civil Code that took effect in 1999 stipulates that in
case of liquidation of the legal entity responsible for damage done
to life or health, the payments to be made are capitalized in order
prescribed by law or other legal acts - in order to pay them to the
person who suffered. However, neither law nor a governmental decision
have established such an order over the past 7 years. Instead, the RA
government made a decision on November 11, 2004, under which point 16
of the above mentioned law lost its force. As a result the problem
remains unsettled. According to the press release, the RA Ombudsman
called the Prime Minister's attention to the problem, proposing that
respective measures be taken in the shortest possible time in order
to fill in this legislative gap.
