Who we are and whom we serve
The Union Court of Justice interprets the Charter and hears matters within its judicial competence. It is the final legal safeguard against a public authority treating its operational convenience as a sufficient reason to restrict a person's rights. It serves parties through fair procedure, reasoned judgments and accessible legal routes.

What our teams do
The Court's work includes rights claims, competence disputes, recognised appeals and interpretation of common instruments. Case records preserve the parties, legal questions, source evidence, representation needs and the status of interim measures. Restricted personal evidence is distinguished from the public reasoning of a judgment.
Our decision powers and limits
The Court does not manage ordinary service queues or write an agency's operating plan. Justice & Legal Cooperation Commission supports legal assistance and cross-region cooperation, while Union Ombudsman offers an accessible maladministration route. A complaint, appeal and petition are different procedures; guidance should identify the route capable of providing the requested remedy.
