Action brought by a natural person against a Member State and seeking a declaration that the Member State concerned has infringed Community law – Clear lack of jurisdiction of the Court
Actions for failure to fulfil obligations – Right of action reserved to the Commission and the Member States – Action brought by a natural or legal person – Inadmissible (Arts 226 EC and 227 EC) (see paras 6-7)
Infringement, in a particular case, of Council Directive 87/344/EEC of 22 June 1987 on the coordination of laws, regulations and administrative provisions relating to legal expenses insurance (OJ 1987 L 185, p. 77).
The Court of Justice of the European Communities manifestly has no jurisdiction to adjudicate in the present case.
Mr Raulin is ordered to bear his own costs.
