Criteria for assigning cases to Chambers

2009/C 153/04

On 16 June 2009, the Court of First Instance laid down the following criteria for the assignment of cases to the Chambers for the period from 1 October 2009 to 31 August 2010, in accordance with Article 12 of the Rules of Procedure:

1.

Appeals against the decisions of the Civil Service Tribunal shall be assigned to the Appeal Chamber as soon as the application has been lodged and without prejudice to any subsequent application of Articles 14 and 51 of the Rules of Procedure.

2.

Cases other than those referred to in paragraph 1 above shall be assigned to Chambers of three Judges as soon as the application has been lodged and without prejudice to any subsequent application of Articles 14 and 51 of the Rules of Procedure.

Cases referred to in this paragraph shall be allocated to the Chambers in turn, in accordance with the date on which they are registered at the Registry, following three separate rotas:

for cases concerning application of the competition rules applicable to undertakings, the rules on State aid and the rules on trade protection measures;

for cases concerning the intellectual property rights referred to in Article 130(1) of the Rules of Procedure;

for all other cases.

In applying those rotas, the two Chambers sitting with three Judges which are composed of four Judges shall be taken into consideration twice at each third turn.

The President of the Court of First Instance may derogate from the rotas on the ground that cases are related or with a view to ensuring an even spread of the workload.
