The applicants were at the relevant time, and some of them still are, judicial clerks at the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Following their civil action, the applicants got the impugned benefits for the period after the Constitutional Court’s decision of 2013. On 20 May 2020 the Constitutional Court upheld the decision of the civil courts in their case, finding that its decision of 2013 mentioned above had not had retroactive effect. The applicants complain under various articles about the outcome of their case, because the same civil courts have granted the impugned benefits to the judges of the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina also for the period before the Constitutional Court’s decision of 2013.   QUESTIONS TO THE PARTIES 1.     Were the decisions rendered in this case arbitrary and for that reason contrary to Article 6 § 1 (see, for example, Bochan v. Ukraine (no. 2) [GC], no. 22251/08, §§ 60-65, ECHR 2015)?   2. If so, has there also been a violation of Article 14 of the Convention, Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 or Article 1 of Protocol No. 12?   The Government are requested to inform the Court whether the State lodged a constitutional appeal against the decision to which the applicants refer, granting the impugned benefits to the judges of the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina also for the period before the Constitutional Court’s decision of 2013.
