The judgments on our site go back to 1994 at the earliest. As to the judgments which cannot be found back on our website it is recommended to apply to the Registry. The Registry is located at the Wetenschapsstraat 37, 1040 Brussels and is open to the public every working day from 9am to 1pm. You can contact the Registry by phone. Should you want the Registry to send you judgments by mail, a request in writing should first be made to the Registry. Keep in mind, however, that in this case there is a fee to be paid of 0,5 Euro per page.
