The applicants consider that the bail-in scheme is a serious violation and in support of their action, they rely on four pleas in law.






1.


First plea in law, alleging violation of the right to property, as protected by Article 17(1) of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU and Article 1 of Protocol 1 of the European Convention for the Protection of Fundamental Rights and Freedoms.










2.


Second plea in law, alleging violation of the principle of proportionality.
