Upcoming Evolutions to the InfoCuria Search Engine
Advanced interface, including a multi-criteria advance search form, to be released Spring 2026.
On 12 January 2026, the Court of Justice of the European Union launched a new version of its InfoCuria search engine.
It is aimed at general users, providing them with a clear, intuitive, and unified tool for accessing pending cases, decisions and Opinions, as well as the website's editorial content.
To meet the specific needs of legal professionals, a version with an advanced interface via a multi-criteria search form is currently under development and will be available soon. This form will allow for more targeted searches based on the following criteria:
- Court
- Case status
- Case number
- Case name
- Text search
- Date case brought or closed
- Document type and date
- Legislation or case-law cited (without a CELEX Number, using a more intuitive method to enter the search term)
- Source of the question referred for a preliminary ruling
- Type of procedure and result
- Language of the case
- Formation of the Court
- Judge-Rapporteur
- Advocate General
This multi-criteria form will be put into production in Spring 2026.
It will later be updated with additional criteria, notably:
- Subject matter
- Case-law digest
- National legal provisions
- International legal provisions
- Subsequent national decisions and the date of that decision
- ECLI number
- Language of the Opinion
- Publication in the ECR
In the immediate future, in order to optimise searches with the current version – which includes many improvements and new features – we invite you to consult our FAQ and Search Tips.
