Deutsche Post V Commission
''Deutsche Post v Commission'' (2011) C-463/10P is an EU law case, concerning judicial review in the European Union. Facts Deutsche Post and Germany claimed annulment of an order by the General Court, which declared inadmissible their actions for annulment of a Commission decision to require Germany provide information on state aid to Deutsche Post. TFEU article 108 required member states to notify the Commission of plans to grant new aid, and to give all necessary information. In 2008 the Commission sent a questionnaire on DP's revenue and costs, and a reminder letter. Germany replied that it would be disproportionate in time and work to give the information after 1994. The Commission said the information had to be given in 20 days. Deutsche Post and Germany brought an action for annulment and the Commission argued it was not an 'act', and this was upheld by the General Court.

Judicial Review
Judicial review is a process under which executive, legislative and administrative actions are subject to review by the judiciary. A court with authority for judicial review may invalidate laws, acts and governmental actions that are incompatible with a higher authority: an executive decision may be invalidated for being unlawful or a statute may be invalidated for violating the terms of a constitution. Judicial review is one of the checks and balances in the separation of powers: the power of the judiciary to supervise the legislative and executive branches when the latter exceed their authority. The doctrine varies between jurisdictions, so the procedure and scope of judicial review may differ between and within countries. General principles Judicial review can be understood in the context of two distinct—but parallel—legal systems, civil law and common law, and also by two distinct theories of democracy regarding the manner in which government should be organize ...
