. On the same day, 26 April 2010, the Timiryazevskiy District Court allowed Ch.'s request for an interim measure and forbade the applicant from contacting A. or picking him up from the nursery school without Ch.'s prior permission. It held as follows:

"The subject matter of the case is the residence of a child [A.] born in 2007. The parents have been unable to come to an agreement on this matter. The child is now living with his mother [Ch.]. The court therefore considers that the requested interim measure would be proportionate to the claim. Otherwise, failure to take interim measures might complicate or make impossible the execution of the forthcoming judgment."

. The applicant learned of the interim measure on 30 April 2010. On that day he came to visit A. at the nursery school and the teachers refused to let him see the boy, citing the interim order.
