The Court of Justice of the European Union has published its annual report. It offers succinct and accurate information about the CJEU’s activity in 2014. As usual, it contains:

• accounts of the main judicial activity of the Court of Justice, the General Court and the Civil Service Tribunal, providing an overview of developments in the case-law;
• a description of the composition of the different courts;
• statistics providing details, for each court, of the nature and quantity of the cases which were brought before them.

It comes out that in 2014 a new record was achieved with a total of 1.691 cases brought before the three courts, that is to say, the highest number since the judicial system of the European Union was created. As 1.685 cases were completed, the Institution’s productivity was likewise the highest recorded in its history.
