SECOND SECTION
Application no. 54213/20
Sonja NALBANTI-DIMOSKA against North Macedonia
and 3 other applications
(see list appended)
communicated on 6 September 2024
SUBJECT MATTER OF THE CASE
All applications concern civil proceedings in which the applicants were ordered to pay a standing charge to a private heating company for the apartments (that they own and/or live in), which were disconnected from (or have never been connected to) the district heating system before 2012. The applications concern the same issue addressed by the Court in the leading case Strezovski and Others v. North Macedonia (nos. 14460/16 and 7 others, 27 February 2020).
QUESTION TO THE PARTIES
Was the system in which the heating standing charge operated in the applicants’ cases compatible with Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention? Did the way in which the domestic courts interpreted and applied the applicable rules impose an excessive individual burden on the applicants (see Strezovski and Others v. North Macedonia, nos. 14460/16 and 7 others, §§ 61-89, 27 February 2020)?
