ECLI (European Case Law Identifier)
The European Case Law Identifier (ECLI) is a uniform identifier for court decisions across EU member states and EU courts, in the form ECLI:country:court:year:number.
ECLI was introduced by Council conclusions of 2011 (OJ C 127, 29.4.2011). The Schrems II judgment is ECLI:EU:C:2020:559.
Not every country assigns ECLIs to every decision, so Arieta Data keeps the ECLI as a nullable field next to the lane id.
