What should be done about that, and how, is, of course, an entirely different story, but I would be extremely careful when defending a court that both the ECtHR and the CJEU found to be unlawfully staffed and lacking independence.

CJEU, immigration law/children
New case (referred to the CJEU from Dutch courts) asks to clarify EU law on expulsion of unaccompanied children - should still be relevant to interpreting the new Returns Regulation (as the law on this point has not changed) - infocuria.curia.europa.eu/tabs/documen...

2. If rulings of the CJEU and the ECtHR show serious defects in how the Court was composed, can a government take steps to restore its lawfulness?

The content of associate membership was unclear from the start. It must have been clear to vdL (it was to me, so come on...) that Canada would not even want full membership in the internal market as that requires EU law to apply to a very large extent. Along with, likely, CJEU. Or EFTA-Court. /2

EU law includes the ECHR now, so as well as the CJEU cases on trans rights, this means the case law of the ECtHR is directly applicable in member states. Because of the principle of primacy of EU law lower national courts don’t have to follow superior court judgments if they’re contrary to EU Law.
