Abstract:
Private applicants challenging European Union Law was and will always be a key issue when it comes to the relationship between the Union and its citizens. Thus the protection of the individual’s rights to judicial review of European acts holds a prominent position to ensure that the EU works sufficiently and effectively for every European citizen. The main way to achieve this goal is the authorisation of direct access to the European Court of Justice for the individual. Therefore, this paper aims to examine the ways of access to the Court of Justice for individuals and the general principles justifying the rights of the individual. Furthermore, it will analyse the handling of cases regarding legal certainty and how legal certainty is one of the most important rights for a private applicant.
