Court of Justice 12 June 2025, C-679/23 (Opinion of Advocate General Ćapeta delivered on 12 June 2025.)

Also known as

The Advocate General's opinion addresses the appeal by a family of Syrian Kurds against the General Court's dismissal of their claim for damages against Frontex, asserting that their fundamental rights were violated during a joint return operation. The core legal issue revolves around whether Frontex can be held liable for damages resulting from its alleged unlawful actions or inactions, particularly in light of its supporting role in such operations, which are primarily the responsibility of the host Member State. The opinion suggests that the Court of Justice has the opportunity to clarify the extent of Frontex's obligations and the conditions under which it may incur liability for breaches of fundamental rights.AI
