Paragraph 10
10. Questions whether it was necessary and effective, however, to double the number of judges at the General Court, a decision which has been openly challenged by former judge Franklin Dehousse (Le Jeudi, 30 April 2019), and by the Court of Auditors, which noted that, in 2016, the General Court had begun ‘to reduce the significant backlog of cases that had built up’ before that decision even took effect (Special Report No 14/2017, ‘Performance review of case management at the Court of Justice of the European Union’, paragraph 90, p. 45); points out, as the Court of Auditors did, that, in the interests of the sound management of public funds, ‘[b]y 26 December 2020, the Court of Justice must report to the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on the functioning of the General Court, covering [...] the necessity and effectiveness of the increase to 56 Judges’ (ibid, footnote 13, p. 15).
