ECJ Case Tracker
The Case Tracker, built by combining ECJ records and GDR analysis and news coverage, allows readers to track the court’s caseload and see which issues it is set to resolve.
As far as possible, cases include primary documents such as ECJ records of referred questions, national courts’ referral decisions, and pre-hearing case summaries prepared by the ECJ. The latter two sources are generally preferred, as they contain detail about cases’ underlying facts, as well as the points of law that are referred.
The tracker provides details on the source of referrals: GDR has mapped whether issues have arisen in appeals against data protection authorities, private litigation, appeals against non-DPA authorities, criminal prosecutions and European Commission enforcement via the ECJ. Two cases in the General Court result from challenges to EU agency decisions.
The database does not currently aim to catch all data protection cases ever filed; it currently only features cases that were filed in the GDPR era, including some cases that were filed post-25 May 2018 but tackle pre-GDPR questions. The dataset will be expanded to catch earlier key cases, but it currently focuses mostly on pending cases and those which will soon be referred to the ECJ. Future updates will otherwise aim to add more information about individual cases.
