Annulment Appeal
Introduction
The jurisdictional or judicial system of the European Union is the organic, regulatory and jurisdictional framework in which the exercise of judicial activities through which Community Law is applied takes place. It is, therefore, the general framework of the judicial function or power within the Union, separated from the other two powers, the executive and the legislative.
Managed through a two-sided institutional architecture, both national and deconcentrated and centralized and properly community-based, the latter is at its apex, embodied in the High Court of Justice of the European Union, based in Luxembourg City.
