CJEU cases
This CJEU case law documentation of eucrim monitors, collects, and summarises legal proceedings brought before the Court of Justice of the European Union in the field of European Union “criminastrive” law, with a focus on the protection of the Union’s financial interests. This database intends to give an overview of the various legal actions brought before the General Court and the Court of Justice, with a view to fostering a pan-European understanding and debate on the interpretation of the relevant EU law provisions, their incorporation into national legislation, and cooperation between judicial authorities. Users find (1) basic information on the case in the left column, such as the reference number, case name (“parties”), and referring court (if applicable), (2) a description of the subject matter in the central column, including related links to other eucrim content (e.g., summary of a CJEU decision in eucrim news), and (3) the state of play of the case in the right column. The database is regularly updated. Searches by keywords or the year of the case are also possible.
