Jajce , concerning unpaid salaries and the statutory social contributions. At the applicants’ request the enforcement court made inventory of the debtor’s tangible property for the purpose of the public sale. The first public sale was partially successful. However, the amount obtained was distributed to the other creditors without any formal decision, thus depriving the applicants of the possibility to challenge it. By 2015, as a result of the alleged inactivity of the enforcement court in organising further sales within the prescribed time-limits and in securing the property, all the tangible property was stolen and the enforcement proceedings were suspended. The Constitutional Court found no violation of Article 6, but failed to examine the complaints under Article 13 and Article 1 of Protocol No. 1. While the applicants could have used two domestic remedies under the 2003 Insolvency Act and the 2015 Companies Act (a winding-up petition, if judgment has not been enforced for more than 60 days from the date on which the writ of execution became final and the action for the lifting of the corporate veil), it is not clear how effective these remedies are in practice. The case raises issues under Articles 6 and 13, and under Article 1 of Protocol No. 1. QUESTIONS tO THE PARTIES 1.     Have the applicants exhausted all effective domestic remedies, as required by Article   35 §   1 of the Convention? In particular, were the action for the lifting of the corporate veil under the 2015 Companies Act and a winding-up petition under the 2003 Insolvency Act, effective remedies within the meaning of this provision?   In this regard, the Government are requested to provide the relevant domestic case-law, if any.   2.     Has the respondent State complied with its positive obligation to organise an effective system for enforcement of judgments, as required by Article 6 of the Convention and Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention (see, notably, Shestakov v. Russia (dec.), no. 48757/99, 18 June 2002; Fuklev v. Ukraine , no. 71186/01, 7 June 2005; and Kotov v. Russia [GC], no. 54522/00, 3 April 2012)?   The Government are also requested to indicate whether the statutory social contributions for the benefit of the applicants have already been paid.   The Government are requested to submit the entire file in the enforcement proceedings pursued by the applicants and in the winding-up proceedings against Borac-R d.o.o . Jajce , if such proceedings had been opened.   The Government are further requested to indicate if there had been any criminal investigation into the theft of the debtor’s tangible property and if so, to submit the entire file in those proceedings.   The applicants are requested to indicate the date when their respective writs of execution became final.   3. Did the applicants have at their disposal an effective domestic remedy for their complaints under Article 6 of the Convention and Article 1 of Protocol No. 1, as required by Article   13 of the Convention?   N o .
