Periods during which hearings are not held
In accordance with Article 15 of the Protocol on the Statute of the Court of Justice, the Court is to remain permanently in session. Each Court determines the periods of judicial vacation and the periods during which, as a rule, no hearings will be held.
Nevertheless, the Courts and their services continue to operate as normal during those periods, in which hearings can be organised if the circumstances of the case so require.
Thus, for the judicial year 2010/2011, 2011/2012 hearings will not, as a rule, be held during the following periods :
| | | 2010/2011 | | 2011/2012 |
- All Saints : - Christmas : - Carnival : - Easter : - Whitsun : - Summer : | | 01.11.2010 > 07.11.2010 20.12.2010 > 09.01.2011 21.02.2011 > 27.02.2011 18.04.2011 > 01.05.2011 30.05.2011 > 05.06.2011 18.07.2011 > 04.09.2011 | | 31.10.2011 > 06.11.2011 19.12.2011 > 08.01.2012 20.02.2012 > 26.02.2012 02.04.2012 > 15.04.2012 28.05.2012 > 03.06.2012 16.07.2012 > 02.09.2012 |
In addition, the Courts observe the statutory public holidays of Luxembourg, where they have their seats.
