4.  The applicants are brothers, who were born in 1941, 1933 and 1937 respectively and live in Cluj-Napoca. 5.  In 1950, a property situated in Cluj-Napoca, 15-17 Someşului Street, which was the property of the applicants’ parents, was seized by the State under Decree no. 92/1950 on nationalisation. The property was made up of ten apartments and appurtenant land. 6.  On 31 January 2001 the Cluj Court of Appeal, by a final decision, allowed an action by the applicants, annulled the seizure as being unlawful and ordered restitutio in integrum. 7.  Although they had judicial recognition of their property right, the applicants were not able to recover possession of Apartments 5 to 9 because the State had sold them in 1996-1997 to the then tenants under Păduraru v. Romania, no. 63252/00, § ..., ECHR 2005‑... (extracts) Law no. 112/1995. 8.  On 12 July 2001 the applicants claimed restitution in kind of the property under Law no. 10/2001 governing immovable property wrongfully seized by the State. So far they have not received any answer. 9.  On 6 December 2002 the Cluj Court of Appeal, by a final decision, upheld in part an action by the applicants to declare the sale by the State of Apartments 5 to 9 null and void. The court declared the sale of Apartments 8 and 9 null and void, striking the third parties off the Land Register, on the ground that the sale was made after the entry into force of Government Decision no. 11/1997 prohibiting the sale by the State of property to which it had no lawful title. As for Apartments 5 and 6, it considered that the third parties had made the purchase in good faith. 10.  On 16 December 2002 the applicants took possession of Apartments 1-4, 7 and 10 and of 1,490 sq. m of appurtenant land.
