2 Introduction The InfoCuria database contains all the publicly available information concerning the cases brought before the Court of Justice, the General Court and the Civil Service Tribunal. InfoCuria gives access, primarily, to the documents of the Institution (principally the judgments, Opinions, orders and notices to the Official Journal of the European Union), by means of a text search or a data search. Those data concern, in particular, the dates of certain stages of the proceedings, the subjectmatter of the case, the type of proceedings, the legal acts of the European Union cited in the case-law, the nationality of the parties, etc. The availability of those data may vary according to the type of proceedings and the stage (progress) of the case. 2
3 List of results Use this menu to choose display options and sorting options different from those offered by default. Display preferences: the option Automatic gives a default display of the tab List of results by case, unless the criteria Documents or Text were used for the search, in which case the tab List of documents will display (only those documents meeting the search criteria will be shown); the option List of cases forces display of the tab List of results by case, whatever search criteria were used; the option List of documents forces display of the corresponding tab, whatever search criteria were used. Sorting preferences: the option Case number in descending order sorts the results by default by court (first Court of Justice cases, second General Court cases and third Civil Service Tribunal cases) and, within one court, by case number in descending order (the first results shown are the most recent cases); the option Case number in ascending order sorts the results by default by court (Court of Justice, General Court, Civil Service Tribunal) and, within one court, by case number in ascending order (the first results shown are the oldest cases); the option Date in descending order sorts the results: o in the tab List of results by case, by court (Court of Justice, General Court, Civil Service Tribunal), then by date on which the case was closed, pending cases appearing first, followed by the cases with the most recent date of closure; o in the tab List of documents by date of publication of the documents, the most recent appearing first, irrespective of the court; the option Date in ascending order sorts the results: 3
4 o in the tab List of results by case, by court (Court of Justice, General Court, Civil Service Tribunal), then by date on which the case was closed, the cases with the most distant date of closure appearing first, followed by pending cases; o in the tab List of documents by date of publication of the documents, the oldest appearing first, irrespective of the court. 4
5 Availability of information If information is not provided, this may be due to the fact that: it is not relevant to the case (for example: the source of a question referred for a preliminary ruling in an action for annulment); it is not yet available at this stage of the procedure (for example: the publication reference for the Official Journal of the European Union before publication); it is not yet publicly available at this stage of the procedure (for example: the name of the Judge Rapporteur in pending cases). 5
6 Case Status Use this criterion to limit the search by reference to case status. Select All cases The search will cover: cases pending (on-going cases, stayed cases and cases in the process of being discontinued or withdrawn); cases closed. Select Cases closed The search will cover: cases closed only. Select Cases pending The search will cover: cases pending only (on-going cases, stayed cases and cases in the process of being discontinued or withdrawn). 6
7 Court Use this criterion to limit the search by reference to the court: Court of Justice; General Court; Civil Service Tribunal. 7
8 Documents Use this criterion to search by type of document. By default, the search will cover all of the documents present in the database. However, the search can be limited by reference to the type of document sought and its date of publication. Select the type of document from the list accessed via the button. The following may be selected: Documents published in the European Court Reports These are judgments, orders, Advocates General's Opinions and positions of the Courts of the European Union and published or to be published in the European Court Reports or the European Court Reports - Staff Cases (ECR-SC). The text of judgments and decisions is available on the day of delivery, that of opinions of the Court on the day when they are given and that of Advocates General's Opinions and positions on the day of their delivery by the Advocate General. Orders are not made public until ten days after they have been notified to the parties. Summaries of decisions are also available. These are not binding on the Courts of the European Union and may in no way be regarded as an official interpretation of the decisions to which they refer. Finally, information on decisions of which the full text is not published in the European Court Reports. Documents published in the European Court Reports are available in all the official languages of the European Union on the day of their delivery. Documents not published in the European Court Reports These are Judgments, orders and decisions (review procedures) delivered or made since 1 May 2004 and not published in the European Court Reports. For orders, use the drop-down menu to select a specific type of order. The full text of documents not published in the European Court Reports is available, but only in the language of the case and the language of deliberation. For some of those decisions, information is published in the European Court Reports (see above). Notices published in the OJ 8
9 These are notices relating to cases brought and cases closed (adjudged or removed from the register) published in the Official Journal of the European Union since 1 January The text of notices published in the OJ is available in all official languages upon dispatch to the Publications Office of the European Union. One or more types of document may be selected from this list. It is also possible to limit the search: to a particular period. Enter the start and end dates in the fields from and to in the format shown. Example: from 01/05/2004 to 31/12/2004. to predetermined periods. By clicking on the relevant button, the dates corresponding to that period are automatically entered in the fields, i.e.: o last 8 days: the search covers documents dating from the last 8 days; o last month: the search covers documents dating from the past month; o last year: the search covers documents dating from the past year; o last 5 years: the search covers documents dating from the past 5 years. to a specific date. Enter the date required in the field date in the format shown. Example: 15/12/2005. Click on Enter or Cancel at the bottom of the window to validate or abandon the selection. Using the Documents search criterion will activate, by default, in the window showing the list of results, the List of documents tab, giving direct access to the documents in question. However, it is still possible to switch to List of results by case showing the cases in which at least one document is covered by the search. 9
10 ECLI This field enables searches of the decisions of the Court of Justice, the General Court and the Civil Service Tribunal by their ECLI (European Case-Law Identifier). For those decisions, the ECLI is composed of the following five sections, in the following order: a) The abbreviation ECLI ; b) The code EU ; c) The abbreviation corresponding to the Court: C, T or F ; d) The year of the decision, which must be entered in four figures; e) An order number, attributed sequentially by year and by Court. The sections of an ECLI are separated by a colon ( : ). Example: The ECLI identifier ECLI:EU:C:2012:23 corresponds to the judgment in Case C-392/10 Suiker Unie. 10
11 Case number Use this field to search for a case by its number in the Register. Examples: C-408/01 (408 th case entered in the Register in 2001 before the Court of Justice); T-201/04 (201 st case entered in the Register in 2004 before the Court of First Instance); F-16/05 (16 th case entered in the Register in 2005 before the Civil Service Tribunal). The case (upper case/ lower case) makes no difference: c-408/01 = C-408/01 t-201/04 = T-201/04 f-16/05 = F-16/05 It is also possible to search using a part of the number. Examples: 122/07 (will find Case No 122 of 2007 before the Court of Justice, the Court of First Instance and the Civil Service Tribunal) 122 (will find Case No 122 of any year before the Court of Justice, the General Court and the Civil Service Tribunal) /07 (will find all cases brought in 2007 before the Court of Justice, the Court of First Instance and the Civil Service Tribunal) Account is not taken of the suffixes identifying certain types of proceedings (such as AJ for legal aid, DEP for costs, OP for application to set aside, P for appeal, PPU for urgent preliminary ruling procedure, R for application for interim measures, REC for rectification of a judgment, REV for revision of a judgment, RX for review, SA for garnishee order, TO for third-party proceedings, etc.). 11
12 Names of parties Use this field to search with the usual name of the case. This is the simplified form of the names of the parties to the action in question. Case (upper case/lower case) and accents make no difference: commission = Commission NB! the institutions of the European Union are identified by their abbreviated names (Commission, Council, Europol, etc.). The following may be used to refine the search: Special characters: o Asterisk * is a joker character which replaces from nought to an infinite number of characters and can be used at the beginning, in the middle or at the end of a word. Example: Alpha* will find cases involving the parties Alpha, Alpharma, Alphasteel, etc. o Underscore_ is a joker character which replaces a single obligatory character and can be used at the beginning, in the middle or at the end of a word. Example: Post_ will find cases in which the name of a party contains this stem plus one character (Posta, Poste). o To search for an exact phrase, use inverted commas ". Example: Trade union Logical operators (Boolean operators): o o AND (represented by the space between two words). Example: Commission Council Parliament will find cases in which the Commission, the Council and the Parliament are all parties. OR (represented by a comma between two words). Example: Poland, Cyprus will find all documents involving Poland, or Cyprus, or both. o EXCEPT (represented by an exclamation mark before the excluded word). Example:!Commission will find cases in which the Commission is not a party to the action. Logical operators and/or special characters may be combined. 12
13 Text search This field allows you to search the full text of documents. Use the Documents field to choose different types of document (by default, all types of document). The following may be used to refine the search: Special characters: o Asterisk * is a joker character which replaces from nought to an infinite number of characters and can be used at the beginning, in the middle or at the end of a word. Example: admiss* will find documents containing the words admissible, admissibility, inadmissible, inadmissibility. o Underscore_ is a joker character which replaces a single obligatory character and can be used at the beginning, in the middle or at the end of a word. Example: Post_ will find documents containing that stem plus one character (Posta, Poste). o To search for an exact phrase, use inverted commas ". Example: Trade union Logical operators (Boolean operators): o o AND (represented by the space between two words). Example: butter cheese will find documents containing both of those words OR (represented by a comma between two words). Example: butter, cheese will find documents containing the word butter, or the word cheese, or both. o EXCEPT (represented by an exclamation mark before the excluded word). Example: butter!cheese will find documents containing the word butter but not those containing the word cheese. Logical operators and/or special characters may be combined. Example: wild bird* conservation will find documents containing both the exact expression wild bird(s) (singular or plural) and the word conservation. Any differences between the results from text searches in the different language versions on the site are due to the fact that documents not published in the European Court Reports are available only in some languages. A text search will activate, by default, in the window showing the list of results, the List of documents tab, giving direct access to the documents in question. However, it is still possible to 13
14 switch to the List of results by case showing the cases in which at least one document is covered by the search. Period or date This criterion makes it possible to search according to: date of delivery of the judgment or adoption of the order; date of delivery of the Opinion; date of the hearing; date of the lodging of the application initiating proceedings; all types of date at the same time (date of delivery of the judgment or adoption of the order OR date of delivery of the Opinion OR date of the hearing OR date of the lodging of the application initiating proceedings). By default, the search covers the date of delivery of the judgment or the adoption of the order. To alter that selection, use the drop down menu. The following types of search are possible: for a specific period. To do this, enter the dates for the beginning and end of the period in the from and to fields in the format indicated. Example: from 01/05/2004 to 31/12/2004 for set periods. By clicking on the desired button, the corresponding dates automatically appear in the fields, so that: o last 8 days; o last month; o last year; o last 5 years. for a specific date. To do this, enter the desired date in the on field in the format indicated. Example: on 15/12/
15 Subject-matter Use this criterion to search by subject. The subjects correspond to the legal bases (articles of the Treaties) covered by the application or request and, after delivery, by the judgment, the order, the decision (review proceedings) or the opinion of the Court of Justice. Select the subject from the list accessible via the button. One or more subjects may be selected from this list. Subjects may be selected: by navigating in the classification structure; via the field Search for a subject (which does not take account of either special characters or logical operators (Boolean operators) and gives all occurrences of precisely the characters entered, whether in upper or lower case or accented). After entering the term, click the button to begin the search. For example: etat will give the subjects Aides accordées par les États, Monopoles d État à caractère commercial, États de pénurie, États d Afrique, des Caraïbes et du Pacifique (ACP) and États africains et malgaches associés. NB! Where a subject concerns a number of Treaties, including the ECSC and/or EAEC Treaties (for example: institutional provisions ), the search results include cases related to all those Treaties. However, subjects which relate exclusively to the ECSC and EAEC Treaties have been grouped under the terms ECSC matters and EAEC matters. NB! If several subjects are selected, they are, by default, separated by the logical operator OR. To separate them by the logical operator AND, choose the option All of the chosen values at the bottom of the window. Click on Enter or Cancel at the bottom of the window to validate or abandon the selection. 15
16 Procedure and result Use this criterion to search by type of action or procedure and the result of the action or procedure. NB! The analysis of results may cover the outcome of different kinds of action and the same decision may produce several different results. It is therefore not advised to use this analysis for statistical purposes. Select the procedure and/or the result from the list accessed via the One or more types of procedure may be selected from this list. button. One or more types of procedure may be combined with one or more types of result. If only types of result are selected, the search will cover all procedures with the chosen results. NB! If more than one type of procedure or result is selected, they are by default separated by the logical operator OR. To separate them by the logical operator AND, choose the option All of the chosen values at the bottom of the window. Click on Enter or Cancel at the bottom of the window to validate or abandon the selection. 16
17 References to case-law or legislation Use this criterion to search by acts (or operative parts of acts) of European Union law cited in: the grounds of the judgment or order the operative part of the judgment or order the Advocate General s Opinion There is a drop-down list of 5 common types of citation: for Treaties, specify the treaty in question from the proposed list and any subdivisions (article, paragraph, subparagraph or letter). for Regulations, specify the order number, the year and any subdivisions (annex, article, paragraph, subparagraph or letter), or choose a specific regulation from the proposed list; for Directives, specify the order number, the year and any subdivisions (annex, article, paragraph, subparagraph or letter); for Decisions, specify the order number, the year and any subdivisions (annex, article, paragraph, subparagraph or letter); for Case-law, specify the court in question (Court of Justice, General Court or Civil Service Tribunal), the order number and the year, and the type of document (judgment, Opinion, order, garnishee order, third-party proceedings, opinion of the Court of Justice or deliberation); NB! The above help will allow you to make a search on only one reference at a time and in a limited list. For a more specific or wider search, select the category Other and enter the CELEX number(s) in the search field. Examples: 21994A1223(01) will find documents that cite the Uruguay Round of Multilateral Trade Negotiations ( ) - Agreement establishing the World Trade Organisation (WTO); 41980A0934 will find documents that cite the Convention on the law applicable to contractual obligations opened for signature in Rome on 19 June Any subdivision of the act or provision must be entered at the end of the CELEX number after a hyphen -. The letters used to refer to the subdivisions are: A for article ; C L N P for recital in the preamble to an act; for subparagraph or for letter; for annexe; for paragraph; PT for point; R T for rule; for indent. 17
18 Example: 31977L0388-A13LBLDPT5 gives access to documents citing Article 13B(d)(5) of Directive 77/388/EEC. N.B. For articles numbered 1 to 9, use two characters (A01, A02,..., A09). The search in the operative part may be restricted by using codes identifying the effect of the operative part in question on the act or provision cited: reference for a preliminary ruling I the cited provision is interpreted; G the cited provision is validated; N the cited provision is invalidated; action for annulment: A the cited provision is annulled; F the cited provision is validated; M the cited provision is amended (fine reduced, annulment in so far as etc.); appeal and review: A the cited judgment or order is set aside; F the cited judgment or order is upheld; M the cited judgment or order is amended. indirect invocation (objection of illegality) (Art. 277 TFEU, Art. 241 EC, Art. 184 EEC, Art. 156 EAEC, Art ECSC) : W the validity of the cited provision is confirmed; B the validity of the cited provision is not confirmed; others : S operation of the cited provision is suspended; R the cited judgment is revised; P the cited judgment is interpreted ; documents concerned by the document analysed (whatever the result) : 18
19 T agreement on which an opinion of the Court of Justice is sought (Art TFEU, Art EC, Art. 228 EEC) ; Z provision concerned by an action for failure to fulfil obligations; X provision in respect of immediate enforcement is applied for (Art. 83 EAEC). To refine the research, CELEX numbers may be combined with logical operators (Boolean operators): AND (represented by a space between two CELEX numbers). Example : 31967L L0073 will find documents citing both Directive 67/548/EEC and Directive 2004/73/EC. OR (represented by a comma between two CELEX numbers). Example : 11957E086, 11992E086, 11997E082, 12002E082, 12006E082, 12008E102 will find documents citing the articles of the Treaty establishing the European Community in its successive versions relating to the abuse of a dominant position. EXCEPT (represented by an exclamation mark before the CELEX number to be excluded). To find out more about CELEX numbers: 19
20 Systematic classification scheme Use this criterion to search using the classification scheme of the Digest of case-law, which is a systematic collection of the summaries of judgments and orders published in the European Court Reports and the European Court Reports - Staff Cases (ECR-SC). Each paragraph of a summary gives rise to one or more classification codes corresponding to the field concerned. Select the classification code from the lists accessed via the button. As a result of changes made following the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon, the classification scheme has been completely reworked. Two lists are thus available: The systematic classification scheme after the Treaty of Lisbon (this is used for case-law since 2010) and The systematic classification scheme before the Treaty of Lisbon (this is used for case-law from 1954 to 2009) In those lists, the classification codes are presented in a tree diagram structure: when you click on a code, everything relating to it will appear and may be selected. Example: to access the code G European arrest warrant click on G-European Union, then G-03 Police and judicial cooperation in criminal matters. One or more classification codes may be selected. NB! If more than one code is selected, they will be separated by the logical operator OR. Click on the Enter or Cancel buttons at the bottom of the window to validate or abandon the selection. By default, when a code is selected in one of the two classification schemes, the search will also cover the corresponding codes in the other classification scheme. That option can be deactivated by deselecting the Include earlier/new scheme box at the bottom of the search form. 20
21 Formation of the Court Use this criterion to search by formation of the Court. NB! Information regarding the formation of the Court is available only after the case is closed. Select the formation of the Court from the list accessed via the One or more formations of the Court may be selected from that list. button. NB! If more than one formation of the Court is selected, they will be separated by the logical operator OR. Click on Enter or Cancel at the bottom of the window to validate or abandon the selection. 21
22 Judge Rapporteur Use this criterion to search by Judge Rapporteur. NB! Information regarding the Judge Rapporteur is available only after the case is closed. Select the name of the Judge Rapporteur from the list accessed via the button. It is possible to select one or more than one Judge Rapporteur from that list. NB! If the names of more than one Judge Rapporteur is selected, they will be separated by the logical operator OR. Click on Enter or Cancel at the bottom of the window to validate or abandon the selection. 22
23 Advocate General Use this criterion to search by Advocate General. NB! Information regarding the Advocate General is available only after the case is closed. Select the name of the Advocate General from the list accessed via the button. It is possible to select one or more than one Advocate General from that list. NB! If the names of more than one Advocate General is selected, they will be separated by the logical operator OR. Click on Enter or Cancel at the bottom of the window to validate or abandon the selection. 23
24 Source of a question referred for a preliminary ruling Use this criterion to search by country of origin of a question referred for a preliminary ruling. Select the country from the list accessed via the button. One or more countries may be selected from that list. NB! If more than one country is selected, they will be separated by the logical operator OR. Click on Enter or Cancel at the bottom of the window to validate or abandon the selection. 24
25 Authentic language Use this criterion to search by: language of the case; language of the Advocate General s Opinion. Select the language from the list accessed via the button. One or more languages may be selected from that list. NB! If more than one language is selected, they will be separated by the logical operator OR. Click on Enter or Cancel at the bottom of the window to validate or abandon the selection. 25
