H. v. Council et Al. - A Minor Expansion of the CJEU's Jurisdiction Over the CFSP

Abstract

(Series Information) European Papers - A Journal on Law and Integration, 2016 1(3), 1297-1299 | European Forum Highlight of 7 October 2016 | (Abstract) On 19 July 2016 the Grand Chamber of the CJEU issued its judgment in case C 455/14 P, H v. Council et al. It is part of a line of recent cases that help clarify and, arguably, expand the CJEU's jurisdiction over the Common Foreign and Security Policy. What distinguishes H v. Council et al. from the existing case-law is that the CJEU uses a new technique to expand its jurisdiction. Yet, while there is now a new tool in the toolbox, its usage seems to be limited to a narrowly defined set of staff-related disputes.
