By the final judgment of 4 June 2009, the High Court of Cassation and Justice held in favour of the applicants, establishing their right to receive damages from the State budget. The judgment remained unenforced to the present day in respect of a large number (a few thousand) of creditors. Relying mainly on Article 6 of the Convention and on Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention (with the exception of the applicant in application no. 57915/19, who relies also on Article 13 of the Convention), the applicants complain of the non-enforcement of the outstanding judgment.   QUESTIONS TO THE PARTIES In respect of all applications   In the circumstances of the present cases, is the non-enforcement of the outstanding judgment rendered in the applicants’ favour compatible with the requirements of Article 6 of the Convention and Article 1 of Protocol No.   1 to the Convention (see for instance Foundation Hostel for Students of the Reformed Church and Stanomirescu v. Romania , nos. 2699/03 and   43597/07, 7 January 2014 and Murărașu v.Romania (dec.), no.   45733/10, 10   November   2015)?   In respect of application no. 57915/19   Does the national law offer an effective remedy against the State’s failure to enforce the outstanding judgment given in the applicant’s favour, as required by Article 13 of the Convention?
