The applicants complain under Article 6 § 1 of the Convention and Article   13 read in conjunction with Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the Convention about a lack of access to a court. QUESTIONS TO THE PARTIES Has there been a violation of the applicants’ right of access to court within the meaning of Article 6 § 1 of the Convention? In particular, can the statutory requirement compelling litigants to engage a lawyer in the proceedings pertaining to their objections against the payment orders in question be regarded as a proportionate limitation on the applicant’s right of access to a court within the meaning of Article 6 § 1 of the Convention (see Kitanovska and Barbulovski v. North Macedonia , no. 53030/19, §§   46-61, 9 May 2023)? APPENDIX No. Application no.
