Criteria for the assignment of cases to Chambers
(C/2024/6453)
On 9 October 2024, the General Court laid down, in accordance with Article 25 of the Rules of Procedure, the criteria for the assignment of cases to Chambers. Those criteria rescind and replace the criteria for the assignment of cases to Chambers of 12 July 2023 (1).
These are as follows:
1.
Direct actions shall be assigned to Chambers of three Judges as soon as possible after the application has been lodged and without prejudice to any subsequent application of Article 28 of the Rules of Procedure.
2.
Direct actions concerning the civil service, that is, cases that stem from the employment relationship between the European Union and its staff, shall be allocated to the Chambers specifically designated to that effect in the decision assigning Judges to Chambers, on a rotational basis, in accordance with the date on which those cases are registered at the Registry.
3.
Direct actions concerning intellectual property rights referred to in Title IV of the Rules of Procedure shall be allocated to the Chambers specifically designated to that effect in the decision assigning Judges to Chambers, on a rotational basis, in accordance with the date on which those cases are registered at the Registry.
4.
Direct actions other than those referred to in paragraphs 2 and 3 shall be allocated to the Chambers in turn, in accordance with the date on which they are registered at the Registry, following two separate rotas:|
— |
for cases concerning application of the competition rules applicable to undertakings, the rules on State aid, the rules on trade protection measures, the rules on foreign subsidies distorting the internal market and the rules on digital markets and services, |
|
— |
for all other cases, apart from applications relating to judgments and orders, referred to in Chapter 17 of Title III of the Rules of Procedure. |
5.
The President of the General Court may derogate from the rotas outlined in paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 in order to take account of a connection between certain cases or with a view to ensuring an even spread of the workload.
6.
Requests for a preliminary ruling shall be assigned to the Chamber of five Judges designated for requests for a preliminary ruling as soon as possible after the request has been transferred by the Court of Justice and without prejudice to any subsequent application of Article 28 of the Rules of Procedure.
7.
Applications relating to judgments and orders referred to in Chapter 17 of Title III of the Rules of Procedure, and requests for rectification of judgments and orders referred to in Article 235 of the Rules of Procedure, shall be assigned as soon as possible in accordance with the criteria laid down in Article 162 of the Rules of Procedure.
8.
The criteria for the assignment of cases to Chambers set out above shall be laid down for the period from 9 October 2024 to 31 August 2025.
