QUESTIONS

1. Having regard to Rule 55 of the Rules of Court, was the Government estopped from raising in their additional observations an objection that domestic remedies had not been exhausted (see Khlaifia and Others v. Italy [GC], no. 16483/12, §§ 51-54, ECHR 2016 (extracts)) on the ground that the applicant had failed to have recourse to the compensatory remedy in force from 1 November 2014 (see paragraphs 24 and 25 of the Government ’ s reply to the applicant ’ s comments)?

2. In the negative, can the remedy relied on by the Government be considered “effective” for the purposes of Article 35 § 1 of the Convention in the circumstances of the present case?
