This introduction first sets out the context for the discussion of how language, multilingual- ism andtranslation mayimpactthedevelopmentofadefacto precedent in thecase lawofthe Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), and introduces the notion of linguistic prece- dent. Second, it provides an overview of the papers included in this special issue. This special issue is a follow-up on a number of workshops and discussions held in the context of the FP7- funded project Law and Language at the European Court of~ustice between 2015-2020. The con- tributions to the special issue, from scholars and practitioners, address various aspects of the linguistic element in the development of a de facto precedent in CJEU judgments. These re- flections on linguistic precedent and how it relates to the formulation and application of 'precedents' in EU jurisprudence highlight an aspect of the interpretation and application of EU case law that has, to date, largely been ignored by scholars and practitioners. Drawing at- tention to this linguistic element in precedents and decisional practices allows for a more rounded understanding of how EU case law develops and functions.
