CJEU - C 36/20 PPU, V.L. v Spain, 25 June 2020
Keywords: Effective access to procedures, Detention

The CJEU found that the judge assigned to rule upon the applicant’s detention should have transmitted his request for international protection to the competent authority so it could be registered, and the applicant could enjoy his rights provided by Directive 2013/33. It also found that he should not have been detained since he was protected by his applicant for international protection’s status under Directives 2013/33 and 2013/32.

Slovenia - Administrative Court of the Republic of Slovenia, 29 July 2016, Judgment I U 1102/2016
Country of applicant: Afghanistan
Keywords: Detention, Standard of proof, Dublin Transfer

The Slovenian legislature has not fulfilled its obligations under the provisions of Article 2(n) of the Dublin Regulation. The possibility of an analogous application of Article 68 of the Aliens Act-2 has a very weak basis in terms of the objective criteria required. It can only be sufficient in a particular case if in light of the specific circumstances of the case there is no doubt about the existence of the risk of absconding.

CJEU - C‑601/15 PPU, J. N. v Staatssecretaris van Veiligheid en Justitie
Country of applicant: Unknown
Keywords: Detention, Return

Article 8(3)(e) of the recast Reception Conditions Directive fulfils the requirements of proportionality by virtue of the strictly circumscribed framework regulating its use. In light of Article 52(3) of the Charter, Article 8(3)(e) therefore complies with Article 5(1)(f) of the ECHR.
