The Court will be delivering a Grand Chamber ruling in the case of Kuijt v. the Netherlands on 23 September 2026.

The case concerns the applicant’s complaint about the practice at the Supreme Court of the Netherlands by which judges of the Criminal Law Division who do not form part of the formation to which a case has been assigned may participate in the deliberations. This is allowed in the interest of ensuring the uniform interpretation and application of the law. Such Supreme Court judges are called “reservisten”.
