The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) has been in the news recently due to several significant rulings. One ruling involved the CJEU determining that FIFA and UEFA had violated EU competition law by attempting to block the breakaway Super League. Another case saw the CJEU advocate-general recommending a re-examination of a decision regarding Apple's tax repayment to Ireland. Additionally, the CJEU made a ruling allowing public offices to ban religious symbols, such as headscarves, from workplaces.
The Court of Justice of the European Union is the judicial branch of the European Union, based in Luxembourg City, Luxembourg. It ensures the uniform interpretation and application of EU law. The CJEU consists of two courts: the Court of Justice and the General Court. The Court of Justice deals with requests for preliminary rulings from national courts, while the General Court handles direct actions brought by individuals, companies, and some EU institutions. The CJEU plays a crucial role in upholding the rule of law within the EU and safeguarding the rights of individuals and organizations under EU law.
