The aim of this casenote is to depict the essential content of the German Federal Constitutional Court's Lisbon Case. Therefore, it is of mainly descriptive nature. It primarily addresses readers wishing for a brief overview before approaching the decision itself or particularly those who might like to avoid reading the ruling in its exuberant length. In order to keep this a straightforward contribution, large parts of the judgment had to be set aside and certain necessary simplifications had to be undertaken. I acknowledge these and commend readers to the other contributions in this special collection of the German Law Journal for varied and deeper treatments of the case.
