Judgment_paragraph 23 · MT Højgaard A/S and Züblin A/S v Banedanmark (C-396/14)

23In that regard, it must be recalled that, in accordance with settled case-law, in order to assess whether a body making a reference is a ‘court or tribunal’, which is a question governed by EU law alone, the Court will take account of a number of factors, such as whether the body is established by law, whether it is permanent, whether its jurisdiction is compulsory, whether its procedure is inter partes, whether it applies rules of law and whether it is independent (judgment of 6 October 2015, Consorci Sanitari del Maresme C‑203/14, EU:C:2015:664, paragraph 17 and the case-law cited).
