Court procedures Chambers

Chambers

Although it is legally possible that a judgment is delivered by the full Court (the 27 judges), this has become exceptional in practice. Both the General Court and the Court of Justice generally decide cases in Chambers, composed of a more limited number of judges (frequently 3 or 5). Before the General Court, antitrust cases are commonly decided by a 3-judge Chamber. One of the judges is appointed “judge rapporteur” by the Chamber (she/he will be mainly responsible for the case, notably for the drafting of the Report for the Hearing – see below – or the judgment).
