Factortame III; Brasserie du Pecheur v Germany (1996)
Last modified: Thu Feb 23 16:37:37 2006
C-46/93, C-48/93. These cases followed earlier decisions of the ECJ, in which it had been
held that member states had been in breach of their obligations under EU law. The
question to be determined was whether a specific remedy should be available to the
affected individuals. The member states argued that the ECTreaty did not create a general
right to reparation for individuals who had suffered loss as a result of member states'
breaches of EU law -- such a right could only be creaed by legislation. However, the ECJ
held that its duty under Art. 200 was to see that ``the law is observed'', and this meant that
it should apply the same principles as were common to the member states in stipulating a
remedy.
