Tribunal rulings since December 2023 and their publication

Status as of: 31 October 2026, 13:00 CETLast updated: 31.10.2026

Tribunal rulings issued since December 2023 and covered on this site, with their publication status in the official journal. A provision held unconstitutional loses force only when the judgment is published, so publication matters in practice. The Tribunal keeps a fuller list of its unpublished judgments on its website (link below); this list covers only the rulings described on this site.
