In this activity report, the Council for Alien Law Litigation looks back at the year 2023, and in particular the number of appeals lodged, judgments delivered, pending cases, and the cassation rate. It also highlights some key points of jurisprudence in 2023 and says more about the developments that marked the organization last year.

From 1 September 2025, the filing fee for appeals before Belgium’s Council for Alien Law Litigation will increase from €186 to €251, marking a rise of approximately 35%. The fee for parties wishing to intervene in ongoing cases will also increase, from €133 to €180. Legal practitioners are advised to inform clients of the new rates. Questions remain over the impact of these increases on access to justice for vulnerable individuals.
