…and Fourth to Go: the Vice-President of the Court Suspends ex art. 278 TFEU the Execution of a Judgment of the General Court
ECJ, order of the vicepresident, 4 February 2025, case C-632/24 P(R), Commission v Courtois
…e il quattro vien da sé: il vicepresidente della Corte sospende ex art. 278 TFUE l’esecuzione di una sentenza del Tribunale
Pour la quatrième fois, le vice-président de la Cour suspend ex art. 278 TFUE l’exécution d’un arrêt du Tribunal
This commentary analyses the order of 4 February 2025 by which the Vice-President of the Court of Justice granted, for the fourth time in its history, a stay of execution of a judgment of the General Court under Article 278 TFEU. The ruling thus provides an opportunity to recall the particularities of interlocutory protection when grafted onto an application for a pourvoi. Moreover, the order is a case emblematic of the increasing focus of protective jurisprudence on fundamental rights, particularly in light of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights and the challenges posed by digitisation and social media in the protection of personal data.
