Attending hearings
Hearings are public events and open for anyone to attend. In exceptional circumstances, and only when necessary, hearings may be closed to the public. To gain entry to the Court, visitors must comply with security checks. Prior registration is not required.
Hearings are generally held on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays during the Court terms. They normally start at 9:30 and vary in terms of duration.
The Court’s judicial calendar provides details about all hearings, judgments and opinions scheduled for the coming weeks.
To attend a hearing, simply present yourself at the Court before the hearing starts.
You do not need to register in advance. However, you should arrive at least 15 minutes before the hearing.
Visitors are requested to use the entrance on Rue Charles-Léon Hammes.
- Please bring your identity card, passport or driving licence in order to get an identification badge.
- You must comply with the Court’s security rules and rules of conduct.
Please note that the seating capacity of the courtrooms is limited. It is not possible to reserve a place.
