FIRST SECTION
Application no. 14961/16
Gencho STOJANOVSKI against North Macedonia
and 29 other applications
(see list appended)
SUBJECT MATTER OF THE CASE
All applications concern civil proceedings in which the applicants (all Macedonians / citizens of the Republic of North Macedonia) 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 (or have never been connected) from the district heating system before 2012. The present applications are part of a larger group of similar cases registered with the Court, following the leading case Strezovski and Others v. North Macedonia, nos. 14460/16 and 7 others, 27 February 2020.
QUESTIONS 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 of 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, 27 February 2020)?
