Today, Louise Spangsberg Grønfeldt, nominated by Denmark, and appointed by the representatives of the Member States under Article 253 TFEU, will be sworn-in as a Judge of the General Court of the European Union. She will take over from the incumbent Judge Sten Frimodt Nielsen, who is departing early before the end of him term.
Judge Frimodt Nielsen is the third longest serving judge that is presently on the General Court (and Judge Jaeger and Vice-President Papasavvas). Whilst he has served on the General Court from 2007, his current term was to run from 2022 to 2028. Accordingly, Judge Spangsberg Grønfeldt will be appointed until 2028, when her term of office will expire.
Judge Spangsberg Grønfeldt previously served as referendaire for Judge Jesper Svenningsen, who is the other judge nominated by Denmark that currently serves on the General Court.
