Judgment_paragraph 55 · G. and Others v M.S. and X (C-181/21)

55In the present case, the President of the Court decided, on 5 May 2021, after hearing the Judge-Rapporteur and the Advocate General, that it was not appropriate to grant the requests referred to in paragraph 52 above. The fact that the questions referred relate to the functioning of the ordinary courts in which a large number of judges sit such as those whose appointment is at issue in the present cases does not constitute a reason establishing exceptional urgency, which is nevertheless necessary in order to justify an expedited procedure. The same is true of the fact that a significant number of litigants are potentially concerned by the decisions taken on a daily basis by the judges whose appointments are called into question in those cases. Lastly, the sensitive nature of those questions does not in itself mean that they must be dealt with within a short time, within the meaning of Article 105(1) of the Rules of Procedure.
