1. On October 30, 2015, the Plaintiffs asserted that the appeal of this case is unlawful, since the Defendants filed a subsequent appeal after two weeks thereafter, when the notice of the decision to commence compulsory auction of real estate was served on Defendant B on October 30, 2015.

The original copy of the judgment of the first instance also served on the Defendants by means of service by public notice, and the Defendants received the original copy of the judgment upon request of the court of first instance on November 5, 2015.
