Countries covered
France is presented court by court and subject by subject, with three institutions: the Constitutional Council, the CNIL and the Autorité de la concurrence.

Understanding these figures
What a published decision is
Each country puts part of its court decisions online, and the share published is not the same everywhere. A published decision counts here as one, whether it is a judgment, a ruling or an order. A single case can therefore produce several decisions: the number of decisions is not the number of cases.
Comparing countries with care
Each country organises its courts and sorts its cases in its own way. In 2025, Czechia has 65,130 decisions, 64,078 of them civil; the Netherlands, 64,124, 38,907 of them in administrative law; the French administrative courts, 279,322. These sets do not cover the same disputes: the gap between two countries says nothing, on its own, about how active the courts are.
Why the median
For the French administrative courts, time to judgment is given as a median: half of the cases are decided faster, the other half more slowly. A few very long cases inflate an average but barely move the median. In 2025, the median time before the administrative tribunals is 7 months.
Subjects and case families
Decisions are grouped by subject in France (15 subjects, such as immigration, tax and planning), by area of law in the Netherlands (administrative law, civil law and their subdivisions) and by case family in Czechia (civil, commercial, family and other cases). These groupings are specific to each country and do not overlap.
Figures about the past
These figures describe past decisions. They do not predict the outcome or the duration of a particular case. For courts with fewer than 200 decisions in the year (14 in 2025), only the number of decisions is given.
Frequently asked questions
How many decisions does JusticeStat count?
In 2025, the site counts 409,665 decisions: 280,411 in France (279,322 from the administrative courts, the rest from the Constitutional Council, the CNIL and the Autorité de la concurrence), 64,124 in the Netherlands and 65,130 in Czechia. They are the decisions published by the courts and authorities, not every case that was decided.
Which courts are covered?
In France, 40 administrative tribunals, 9 administrative courts of appeal, the Conseil d'État, the Constitutional Council, the CNIL and the Autorité de la concurrence. In the Netherlands, 19 courts; in Czechia, 103.
Can countries be compared with one another?
Only with great care. The number of decisions depends on what each country puts online and on how it sorts its cases: 64,124 decisions in the Netherlands and 65,130 in Czechia in 2025, against 279,322 for the French administrative courts, three sets that do not cover the same disputes. The safest comparisons are from one year to the next within a single country.
What does the median time mean?
It is the time that half of the cases do not exceed. Before the French administrative tribunals, in 2025, half of the cases were decided within 7 months and a quarter took longer than 21 months. The site gives this time for the French administrative courts.
Why are some courts limited to a number of decisions?
Below 200 decisions in the year, a rate, a time or a detailed profile would rest on very few cases: the page of such a court is limited to its number of decisions. In 2025, 14 courts are in that position (2 in France and 12 in Czechia).
Does the site publish statistics per judge?
No. The site publishes no personal names, computes no statistic per judge or per panel and does not cover criminal cases. The finest level is the court: 175 courts and authorities in 2025.
