Directory of case-law

Classification scheme after the Lisbon Treaty (since 2010)

In this section, you can find the judgments and orders of the Court of Justice, General Court and Civil Service Tribunal classified by subject in accordance with the classification scheme of the Directory of case-law.

Following the changes brought by the Treaty of Lisbon, the classification scheme – used to analyse case-law from 1954 to 2009 – was modified.

The new scheme has been applicable since 2010.

How to search in this section?
