Operative part of the judgment
Article 57(4)(c) and (g) of Directive 2014/24/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 February 2014 on public procurement and repealing Directive 2004/18/EC must be interpreted as precluding national legislation pursuant to which an action before the courts against a decision to terminate a public contract, taken by a contracting authority on account of significant deficiencies arising in the execution of that contract, prevents the contracting authority which issues a new call for tenders from conducting any assessment, at the stage of the selection of tenderers, of the reliability of the operator concerned by that termination.
