The Supreme Court rules on cases in three areas of law: civil law, criminal law and tax law. To illustrate the work of its various sections, this chapter highlights a number of cases it ruled on in each area in 2024. In all, the Supreme Court handed down 4,247 judgments in 2024. The judgments in which the Supreme Court referred questions to the Court of Justice of the European Union for a preliminary ruling or in which it answered questions referred for a preliminary ruling are discussed in the section on European Union Law. This is followed by explanations of the judgments of the Fourth Division of the Supreme Court as well as the complaints and other correspondence it received.
