Aims
  • Thorough knowledge of the procedures and systems of legal protection in the EU, i.e. cognizance of all details of the procedures under European law for effecting the rights granted to institutions and persons by EU law.
  • Familiarity with the main bottlenecks in EU legal protection, in legal practice as well as from an academic-theoretical perspective.
  • Notion of the general admissibility requirements and current developments in this field.
  • Insight in the different existing procedures at national and EU level to ensure judicial protection of EU law rights and knowledge what procedure could be best followed in order to safeguard EU law rights.
Content

In the Member States of the European Union, few areas of domestic law are left untouched by EU law. EU law is capable of granting rights to and imposing obligations on a number of parties: the Member States, the institutions of the EU, and also individuals and companies. If one of these parties does not fulfill its obligations under EU law, the rights of other parties may be infringed. The aggrieved party or parties must then be entitled to some form of judicial protection (a remedy). This course focuses on the main forms of judicial protection under EU law, both in proceedings before the European Courts and the courts of the Member States.
