Judgment_paragraph 63 · QB v European Central Bank (T-827/16)

63In that regard, it must be observed that neither the fact that the documents in question may be confidential nor the fact that they may have been obtained unlawfully precludes in principle their remaining in the case file. There is no provision that expressly prohibits evidence obtained unlawfully from being taken into account (see, to that effect, judgment of 12 May 2015, Dalli v Commission, T‑562/12, EU:T:2015:270, paragraph 47; see also, in the context of competition law, judgment of 8 September 2016, Goldfish and Others v Commission, T‑54/14, EU:T:2016:455, paragraphs 44 and 76).
