And another court found Germany’s border checks to be unlawlful.
A law professor was checked when returning home from the conference “40 years Schengen Treaty” and, presumably overwhelmed by the irony of it all, sued.
This is important since this is the first case after the reform of the Schengen border codex in 2024 – and the court still found the reasons for reintroducing border checks insufficient.
This was a decision by a lower court, will likely be appealed, and is expected to eventually wind up at the European Court of Justice.
Until then, the federal government sees no reason to stop its unlawful behaviour.
