Operative part of the judgment







1.


The second subparagraph of Article 19(1) TEU
must be interpreted as precluding national legislation under which a body of a national court, such as the college of that court, may withdraw from a judge of that court some or all of the cases assigned to him or her, where that legislation does not lay down criteria which must guide that body when it takes such a decision to withdraw cases or require that reasons for that decision be stated.










2.


The second subparagraph of Article 19(1) TEU and the principle of the primacy of EU law
must be interpreted as requiring a national court to disapply a resolution of the college of that court withdrawing from a judge of that court cases previously assigned to him or her, and other subsequent acts, such as the decisions relating to the reassignment of those cases, where that resolution was adopted in breach of the second subparagraph of Article 19(1) TEU. The judicial bodies responsible for determining and modifying the composition of that formation must disapply such a resolution.
