Case-law of the CJEU adopted in 2018 and its relevance for Austria

Summary In 2018, a total of 1,683 new cases was brought before the Court of Justice of the European Union. In that year, the European Court of Justice and the General Court completed a total of 1,769 cases. Some of those judgments and decisions are directly relevant for Austria, some others are in some way linked to Austria and brought about substantial developments of primary and/or secondary EU law. Those developments must be observed by all Member States of the European Union. Finally, some rulings were adopted following claims or appeals brought by natural or legal persons from Austria and are therefore connected to Austria.
