Operative part of the judgment

The second subparagraph of Article 19(1) TEU, read in the light of Article 47 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union,

must be interpreted as meaning that, where a Member State has established a system for allocating cases within courts which is based on the principle of the random selection of the formation of the court, with certain exceptions, and is subject to the involvement of the head of court management of each court, it does not preclude, where a judge to whom a case has been allocated has doubts as to the lawfulness of that allocation, that judge from being prevented from ruling himself or herself on that question and, if necessary, from referring that case to another judge in the same court on the ground that it should have been allocated to that judge, while the first judge must refer the case concerned back to the head of court management of that court, so that he or she may verify the lawfulness of the initial allocation of that case and possibly proceed to the reallocation of that case. However, the lawfulness of an allocation made by that head of court management must be subject to judicial review in accordance with the rules of national law.
