German term or phrase: die nächste Instanz wandte sich ... an den Europäischen Gerichts
Die empörte Britin legte Einspruch ein, der aber wurde verworfen; die nächste Instanz wandte sich im vergangenen Jahr an den Europäischen Gerichtshof in Luxemburg. Und der Schlussantrag des Generalanwalts vom Donnerstag kann die transsexuelle Rentnerin hoffen lassen.

English translation:the next level of appeals court turned to the European Court of Justice
Explanation:
"Instanzen" in this judicial context refers to the various levels of appeals courts. It means that instead of passing this case along to the next (presumably regional) appeals court, they instead send it straight to the European Court of Justice, which has a broader jurisdiction.
