1.   

In modern democracies the Rule of Law requires that the application of the law by the judiciary is transparent and that citizens have adequate access to the sources of law. The publication of court decisions provides insight in how the law is applied by the judge. Knowledge about landmark cases is of the utmost importance for legal professionals, public bodies and citizens to be informed about the evolution of the law.

2.   

The internet has revolutionised the way information can be disseminated; many courts and judicial authorities use modern technologies to make court decisions available to all.

3.   

For the EU legal order to function properly, mutual knowledge of the legal systems of other Member States is indispensable, especially, but not only, regarding the application of EU law.

4.   

The online publication of court decisions requires balancing a variety of interests, within the boundaries set by legal and policy frameworks. Sharing national best practices can serve as an inspiration for how these interests can be balanced.

5.   

This document describes a set of such best practices. It should be stressed that these best practices lack a mandatory character, do not strive for any kind of harmonisation and should merely be viewed upon as an invitation for reflection. The extent to, and the way in which court decisions are published on the internet, is up to every individual Member State and/or court to decide.

6.   

In this document, the term ‘court decisions’ covers all types of intermediary and final judicial decisions, under whatever name, rendered by tribunals or courts as defined by national law.

7.   

These best practices only pertain to the active publication of court decisions on the internet; they do not cover the access to court records/decisions as governed by national regimes on access to public documents, as far as such regimes are based on providing access by individual requests in specific cases.
