SUMMARY:Constitution of Innovation (CoI) online workshop: Specialized EU Commercial Courts
DESCRIPTION:Overview \nThe European Union’s internal market suffers from a fundamental enforcement gap: when a Member State illegally blocks cross-border trade\, affected businesses face a daunting set of choices — years-long Commission complaints\, unfamiliar national courts\, or simply abandoning the market altogether. This makes genuine mutual recognition largely unworkable\, since interstate trade barriers can only be dismantled through effective administrative and judicial action. To address this\, our proposal is to establish Specialized Commercial Courts with exclusive jurisdiction over internal market violations by Member States\, attached to the General Court under existing treaty authority. These regional courts would offer businesses a streamlined\, English-language procedure with decisions rendered within 180 days\, the power to issue EU-wide injunctions\, award damages\, and set precedents binding on all Member States. Appeals would be limited to points of law before the General Court\, keeping the system focused and efficient. The entire five-court structure would cost less than what the EU loses to trade barriers in a single week — making the Specialized Commercial Courts not just a legal reform\, but a compelling economic investment in a functioning single market. \n  \nAgenda (CET) \nMay 18th \n17:00-17:10            Introduction: Nicolas Petit and Luis Garicano \n17:10-17:40            Invited Speaker Presentations (10 minutes each) \n\nAndrea Biondi\, Advocate General\, Court of Justice of the European Union\nGeorge Gryllos\, Partner\, White & Case\nBenjamin Cheynel\, Legal Secretary\, General Court of the European Union (Luxembourg) tbc\n\n17:40-18:50            Workshop Discussions with Invited Participants \n     Moderator: Bowman Heiden \n18:50-18:00            Summary and Next Steps: Nicolas Petit and Luis Garicano
