Direct Effect Principle

The CJEU case-law on horizontal direct effect of directives arguably lacks consistency in regards to the application of the general principle. The principle of direct effect was established in Van Gend en Loos v. Nederlandse Administratie der Belastingen. Although there is no set definition of direct effect, a broader definition was provided in Van Gend en Loos that it “can be expressed as the capacity of a provision of EU law to be invoked before a national court.” However, Van Dyun v. Home Office

Introduction: The issue arising from the Monique’s case is the direct applicability of the Treaty Articles and the direct or indirect effect of Directives, provided by the European Union. Monique may be able to rely on both Article 18 and 45 of TFEU which concerns any kind of discrimination against EU citizens. The Council Directive 14/08 will be examined whether it is direct or indirect applicable, or if it can be applicable under the principle of state liability. In the case where one of the above

This question concerns the application of direct effect to the facts in question. In particular, Fergie requires advice on whether or not he can rely on Directive 15/2012 and enforce his EU law rights in the national court. Fergie takes legal proceedings against Charlston Council to claim compensation for his injury. The council seems to have complied with the domestic law which stipulate only that, the caterers has a duty to eliminate unhealthy food. The Act is silent on genetically modified food

been contention to the definition of direct effects, it has generally been explained to be a principle that bestows upon the individuals of the European Union (hereafter, the EU) Member State, a right which flows from EU law. This conferring of right would enable an individual to invoke the provision before the courts. An invention of the Court of Justice of the European Union (hereafter, the CJEU) and first recognized in Van Gend en Loose , this principle, therefore, goes to the heart of the

Dutch firm, tried to invoke Article 12 (now 25)[9] of the EC Treaty before a Dutch tribunal, the Tariefcommissie. Using the Article 234 procedure the Tariefcommissie referred two questions to the Court. Firstly, 'Whether Article 12…has direct application within the territory of a Member State, in other words, whether nationals of such a State can, on the basis of the article in question, lay claim to individual rights which the courts must protect'.[10] It was argued

• The EU is an autonomous legal order, and its survival is dependent on the principle of supremacy. An effective, coherent system is essential for uniformity. The principle cites that when national and EU conflicts, EU law is supreme. Direct Effect A cause of action the claimant could use to exercise their rights could be direct effect. Direct effect is noted to have two interpretations, broad and narrow. The former states that it is

The doctrine of direct effect is the primary tool by which the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) enforces European Union (EU) law within member-states. However, the power of direct effect as a tool of enforcement means that the CJEU has had to resist impulses to overextend its application. This essay will argue that rather than unnecessarily undermining the doctrine of direct effect, the CJEU has skilfully managed to create an effective enforcement regime for directives while applying

The doctrines of direct effect and supremacy are extremely important because they require national courts to apply European Union law over any conflicting provision of national law. This essay will first consider the doctrine of direct effect, its advantages and disadvantages and it will go on examining the doctrine of supremacy, how it can be assessed and its relation with the doctrine of direct effect. Finally, some conclusion will be drawn as to how the direct effect and supremacy of Union law

essay will examine the effectiveness of both indirect effect and state liability in providing individuals with sufficient redress such as remedies for losses suffered, and consequently whether there is a need for Directives to generate horizontal direct effect. Directives are a form of secondary legislation contained in Article 288 TFEU. Directives are legally binding only to the Member States of the EU on the outcome wished to be achieved. The way in which said outcome is achieved is left entirely
