This book describes the rules governing appeals before the Court of Justice of the European Union. The appeal is the judicial remedy by which a party may contest a decision of the General Court of the European Union. It concerns matters in which the Tribunal has jurisdiction such as, competition, mergers, state aids, access to documents, restrictive measures, EU staff, trade marks, and other areas of intellectual property. This form of judicial remedy was created just over 25 years ago. It is specific to the ECJ, and can only be learned through the case-law. This book is a description of the case-law, and of the rules that the lawyers pleading appeal cases are required to know.
This book will specifically address the procedure applicable to appeals to the Court of Justice. It will offer a structured and comprehensive synthesis and analysis of the relevantprovisions of the Court's Statute and Rules of Procedure, as well as the case law, much of which has been hitherto unavailable in English.
