On 9 January 2026, the Government Council approved a draft bill amending the amended Law of 7 November 1996 on the organisation of administrative courts, providing for the establishment of a dedicated asylum and immigration court. The new court is set to begin operations with 16 judges and aims to shorten processing times for asylum- and immigration-related cases. The reform forms part of Luxembourg’s national implementation of the EU Pact on Migration and Asylum.
The draft bill also provides for reinforced staffing within administrative courts. At a first stage, the Administrative Tribunal will receive six additional judicial posts, while the Administrative Court will be allocated one additional post.
