Farewell

As announced some time ago, I will become a member of the Boards of appeal in 2014, which means that I cannot be a case law blogger any more.

I had the intention of continuing the blog for some more weeks, but as it turns out, I have run out of noteworthy decisions, which has never happened since 2009, when this blog took off. I take this as a sign that the time has come to terminate the proceedings.

I know some colleagues who have the intention of pursuing the work; I hope these projects will be reduced to practice and, if so, I shall be happy to provide links. 

This blog, however, will go silent. What has been published so far will remain online, as requested by some of you.

Let me just thank those of you whose comments have made this blog a more interesting place. Thanks to pat-agonia, Myshkin, MaxDrei, Roufousse T. Fairfly, Manolis, Raoul, George Brock-Nannestad, DrZ, ExaMinus, Rimbaud - to mention just a few dear contributors - as well as to those who preferred to stay anonymous. My thanks also go to Laurent Teyssèdre, the father of EPC case law blogging, whose blog was quite an inspiration to me.

All the best
