Abstract :
[en] The Brussels Court of Appeal quashed the decision of the French-speaking Court of First Instance of Brussels which had given the Belgian State 30 days to provide a new legal basis to the public health measures adopted to fight the Covid-19 pandemic. However, this is not the end of the story. The Court of Appeal expressed serious doubts regarding the constitutionality of the current legal regime, while leaving the task to answer these doubts to the Constitutional Court. [fr] La Cour d'appel de Bruxelles a annulé la décision rendue en référé par le tribunal de première instance francophone de Bruxelles, qui avait octroyé à l'État belge 30 jours pour fournir une nouvelle base légale aux mesures sanitaires. Ce n'est toutefois pas la fin de l'histoire: La Cour d'appel a exprimé de sérieux doutes quant à la constitutionnalité du régime légal actuellement en place, mais a laissé à la Cour constitutionnelle le soin d'examiner ces doutes.
