      Criteria for assigning cases to Chambers
      (2010/C 288/08)
      On 20 September 2010, the General Court laid down the following criteria for the assignment of cases to the Chambers for the period from 20 September 2010 to 31 August 2011, 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 intellectual property rights referred to in Article 130(1) of the Rules of Procedure;
                           
                        
                              —
                           
                           
                              for all other cases.
                           
                        
            In applying those rotas, the Chamber composed of four Judges which is sitting with three Judges shall be taken into consideration twice at each third turn.
      The President of the General Court may derogate from the rotas on the ground that cases are related or with a view to ensuring an even spread of the workload.
