JUDGMENT WATCH · C/17/190788
The judgment is coming
At the end of the 22 October hearing the presiding judge said the court expects to rule between 9 December 2026 and the end of February 2027. The court will send the judgment to IoJ the moment it's ready, and IoJ will release it to the public as soon as it arrives. This page becomes the judgment, in English.
What the court must decide
Five questions, all on the claimants
The unlawful act
Violate a right, break a law, or breach the unwritten duty of care, and you owe for the harm.
The group
Act as a group and every member can be made to pay, even if no one can say whose act did it.
The suffering
Damages for fear, grief and suffering, where the law allows them.
The anchor
Power over one defendant at home lets the court join the others, if the claims are tied closely enough.
The burden
Whoever claims it, proves it. Here, the burden is on the seven.

The IoJ Legal Fund
It's our pleasure to bring you this case in English
People need to see lawsuits like this, and understand how serious these issues are. If you'd like to see more lawsuits like this, IoJ has its own legal fund for some of the most important cases for humanity, our federal mandamus first, then the Nuremberg case in Costa Rica and Sue the WHO. Your support would mean a great deal, and we'll keep bringing you news and records like this, as well organized as we can.
Gifts fund IoJ's own cases. IoJ is not a party to the Leeuwarden case, and gifts don't go to its plaintiffs.
Keep this library open
Free to read, for good. Not free for IoJ to host.
Every document here was gathered, translated and checked by hand, and the whole record stays online for history, whatever happens to other sites. Interest of Justice is reader-funded, with no corporate or pharmaceutical money. If this library helped you, help keep it open.
