In its ruling of 6 April 2020 the preliminary relief court of the Administrative Jurisdiction Division of the Council of State (Afdeling Bestuursrechtspraak van de Raad van State) suspended the effect of a decision of the Municipal Executive of Rijswijk. Due to COVID-19-related measures, the president of the Administrative Jurisdiction Division opted to hear the parties via written submissions instead of a physical hearing. This is the new standard procedure during the COVID-19 crisis for non-urgent cases, according to the rules published 9 April 2020.
