Court of Justice (Grand Chamber) 25 July 2018, C-216/18 PPU (LM.)

Also known as

The Grand Chamber of the Court delivered a judgment on 25 July 2018 concerning the interpretation of Article 1(3) of the Council Framework Decision 2002/584 on the European arrest warrant. The core legal dispute centers on the obligations of executing judicial authorities when there is a real risk that a surrendered individual may face a breach of their fundamental right to a fair trial due to systemic deficiencies in the judiciary of the issuing Member State. The Court ruled that executing authorities must assess the specific circumstances of the individual and the nature of the offense to determine whether to proceed with the surrender.AI
