Dashboard

The dashboard provides information about rule of law-related judgements and pending cases at the Court of Justice of the European Union and the European Court of Human Rights.

Currently, cases on Hungary, Malta, Poland, and Romania are included in the dashboard, given the pending Art. 7-procedures and the urgent problems of the rule of law in those States. The selection of further Member States to be included will be based on the Annual Rule of Law Reports of the European Commission, reports by the Council of Europe and reports by NGOs such as Freedom House and Varieties of Democracy.

The selection of cases is based on the definition of the 'rule of law' in Art. 2 of Regulation 2020/2092. Cases that concern (one of the elements of) the definition as described in the foregoing provision, are selected from Curia (CJEU case law) and HUDOC (ECtHR case law). Press releases by the registrars of the two courts and secondary sources are used to identify relevant cases.

For the text of the judgments and more information click on the links under 'Case number' and 'ECLI:EU:C:' for CJEU decisions, and under 'Case number' and 'Name' for ECtHR decisions. Click on the underlined text in the outer right column to get a short summary of the case. When an 'ECLI number' but no 'date of judgment' is given, this is likely to indicate that an AG opinion has been rendered.

The dashboard is work in progress, so if you have any suggestions or additions, you are welcome to contact the Meijers Committee via b.okoobo@commissie-meijers.nl. The dashboard will be updated regularly.
