Judgment_paragraph 53 · JP v Commissaire général aux réfugiés et aux apatrides (C-651/19)

53Second, as regards the principle of effectiveness, it must be recalled that the Court has recognised the compatibility with EU law of reasonable time limits for bringing proceedings, laid down in the interests of legal certainty, where such time limits are not liable to make it in practice impossible or excessively difficult to exercise the rights conferred by EU law. The Court has also held that, in respect of national legislation that comes within the scope of EU law, it is for the Member States to establish time limits in the light of, inter alia, the significance for the parties concerned of the decisions to be taken, the complexities of the procedures and of the legislation to be applied, the number of persons who may be affected and any other public or private interests which must be taken into consideration (judgment of 29 October 2009, Pontin, C‑63/08, EU:C:2009:666, paragraph 48 and the case-law cited).
