The applicants had initially been employed by the local government authorities. When they were transferred, under Article 8 of Law no.   124/1999, to work for the Ministry of Education, Universities and Research, their length of service with the local government authorities, their original employer, was not fully recognised for financial and legal purposes. The applicants lodged proceedings before the domestic courts arguing that the conversion of their salary into a notional length of service with the new employer upon transfer had been unlawful and detrimental. They sought placement in the professional grade corresponding to their full length of service from the date of the transfer as well as the determination of any compensation due to them. When those proceedings were pending at different levels of jurisdiction, Article 1 § 218 of Law no. 266/2005 of 23   December 2005 entered into force. This provision intended to give effect to what the legislator claimed to be the original intention of the Parliament when adopting Article 8 of Law no. 124/1999. Relying on that interpretative law the domestic courts dismissed the applicants’ claims. The applicants lodged an appeal. In the course of the last proceedings, following the judgement of the Court of Justice of the European Union of 6 September 2011 in Scattolon , C-108/10, the Court of Cassation remitted those cases to the competent courts of appeal for determination of whether the applicants had suffered a substantial loss of salary solely as a result of the transfer. By a number of judgments delivered between 2014 and 2016 the courts of appeal ruled that the applicants had not suffered a substantial loss of salary. QUESTIONS TO THE PARTIES 1.     Have the applicants exhausted all effective domestic remedies, as required by Article 35 § 1 of the Convention?   2.     Did the applicants have a fair hearing in the determination of their civil rights and obligations, in accordance with Article 6 § 1 of the Convention? In particular, was there interference by the legislature with the administration of justice designed to influence the judicial determination of a dispute on account of the retrospective application to their case of Article   1, § 218, of Law no. 266/2005 (see Agrati and Others v. Italy , nos.   43549/08 and 2 others, 7 June 2011)? If so, was that interference based on compelling grounds of general interest?       APPENDIX No. Application no.
