Right to an Effective Remedy and to a Fair Trial:Is it Irrelevant whether a Procurement Review Body is Judicial in Character? Case C-303/22, CROSS Zlín

In this case comment, I reflect on the position taken by the Court of Justice of the European Union in CROSS Zlín that, for the purposes of suspending the effectiveness of contract award decisions and preventing the conclusion of public contracts, it is irrelevant whether a procurement review body is judicial in character or not. I reiterate the call for a review of the Remedies Directive.
