“The European Commission, 16 of 27 member states and the European Parliament took Hungary to the European Court of Justice (ECJ) over the law, in what has been billed as the largest human rights case in the bloc's history.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim specifies that the European Commission, 16 member states, *and* the European Parliament took Hungary to the ECJ. While multiple sources confirm the ECJ found the law violated EU rules (web_search results), none of the provided evidence explicitly confirms the specific coalition of 'The European Commission, 16 member states, and the European Parliament' initiating the action. The Wikipedia results provide general information on the Commission but do not confirm this specific legal action or the number of states involved in the complaint.
