The applicant complains that the quashing of the final judgment in such circumstances was contrary to the principle of legal certainty and breached his rights guaranteed by Article 6 § 1 and Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention. QUESTIONS TO THE PARTIES 1.     Was there a breach of the applicant’s rights under Article 6 § 1 of the Convention and Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention as a result of the Supreme Court of Justice’s decision to allow the appeal on points of law against the Court of Appeal’s judgment of 25 September 2013? In   particular, was the appeal on points of law lodged within the legal time ‑ limit and did the Supreme Court give relevant and sufficient reasons for declaring that appeal admissible ( Melnic v. Moldova , no.   6923/03, §§   39 ‑ 44, 14   November 2006)?   2.     The Government are requested to submit a full copy of the case-file in the domestic proceedings.
