Summary
Procedure - Originating application - Procedural requirements - Application not brought through a lawyer - Applicant's standing as a lawyer authorized to plead before a national court - Not relevant - Inadmissibility
(Statute of the Court of Justice, Art. 17, third para., and Art. 19, first para.; Rules of Procedure of the Court of Justice, Art. 37(1), first subpara.)
Whatever his standing, a party within the meaning of the third paragraph of Article 17 of the Statute of the Court of Justice is not authorized to act on his own before the Court, but must use the services of a third person authorized to practise before a court of a Member State or of a State which is a party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
Since no derogation from or exception to that obligation is provided for by the Statute or the Rules of Procedure of the Court of Justice, the submission of an application signed by the applicant himself, even if he is a lawyer authorized to plead before a national court, cannot be sufficient for the purpose of bringing an action.
