In early September, justices Ján Bernát, Miroslav Duriš, Eva Fulcová and Juraj Sopoliga, approved by parliament as CC justices but refused appointment by Kiska, filed a complaint with the Constitutional Court.

The first panel then accepted the complaint. Another refused candidate, Jana Lašáková, also filed a complaint in September; and her motion was accepted in October by the third CC panel. The plenum of the court then merged both cases through a resolution, for a joint proceeding within the first panel, TASR cited CC information.
