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)?   APPENDIX   No. Application no.
