Judgment_paragraph 67 · ZL and Others v Provident Polska S.A (C-321/22)

67In that regard, it must be pointed out that an interest in bringing proceedings is an essential and fundamental prerequisite for any legal proceedings (judgment of 23 November 2017, Bionorica and Diapharm v Commission, C‑596/15 P and C‑597/15 P, EU:C:2017:886, paragraph 83). By avoiding the courts being blocked with actions in fact seeking a legal consultation, the requirement for an interest in bringing proceedings pursues a general interest of the sound administration of justice which may prevail over individual interests (see, by analogy, judgment of 31 May 2018, Sziber, C‑483/16, EU:C:2018:367, paragraph 51 and the case-law cited).
