The applicants’ request for legal aid for fees in order to file a rectification request, along with the opportunity to be served with the decision, was also rejected by the first-instance court on the ground that the proceedings had already ended and that it lacked jurisdiction at that stage of the proceedings to grant the applicants legal aid. The applicants complain under Article 6 § 1 of the Convention about an infringement of their right of access to a court. QUESTION tO THE PARTIES Did the refusal of the domestic courts to provide the applicants with a copy of the Court of Cassation’s decision on appeal, as well as the refusal to entertain their request for legal aid, deprive them of an effective “right to a court” guaranteed by Article 6 § 1 of the Convention (see, mutatis mutandis, Teltronic-CATV v. Poland , no. 48140/99, §§ 45-64, 10 January 2006; Ülger v.   Turkey no. 25321/02, § 44 26 June 2007 and Mehmet and Suna Yiğit v.   Turkey, no. 52658/99 , §§ 31-39, 17 July 2007)?   APPENDIX     Ali TÜRKOĞLU who was born in 1959, lives in Ankara.     ÇELİKSAN ÇELİK SANAYİ VE TİCARET LTD.
