The last chance to democratize locus standi? On the exceptional opportunity that is Case C-555/24P Medel and Others v Council

Key Points

The research aims to evaluate the implications of modifying standing requirements for the European Court of Justice (ECJ).
Analyze legal precedents related to locus standi
Examine implications of maintaining strict standing standards
Evaluate potential consequences for legal dialogue on pressing issues.
If maintained, tight standing rules could diminish the ECJ's role as a key legal interlocutor.
Revising standing criteria may enhance engagement on issues like the rule of law and climate change.

Abstract

Medel v Council is a perfect opportunity to tweak standing requirements for the ECJ. If the ECJ, however, chooses to maintain its tight grip on standing, it risks is own position as interlocutor in the legal dialogue on such important issues as the rule of law or climate crisis.
