The Constitutional Court notified the applicants to explain why the appeal was inadmissible due to the failure to raise a normative constitutionality question prior to the judgment. The applicants had not previously challenged the constitutionality of the contested law before the lower courts. Consequently, the Court ruled that the appeal would not be known without further justification.
