The essence of EU’s legal system is defined by the rights that individuals and businesses possess. They can rely on these rights as well as they can enforce them in national courts with the help of the Court of Justice as the supreme authority on the interpretation of EU law. However, individuals can also enforce their EU rights in national courts where direct effect or indirect effect apply. Notwithstanding the fact that both concepts cannot guarantee an ultimate remedy, they can still help with the processes of making these rights legitimate. This essay will analyse the given problem question by considering Directives in connection with direct effect and indirect effect. Furthermore, it will examine the possible remedies, if any, using statutory and case law.
First, it is necessary to determine whether an inadequate implementation has been made, and only then, it will be possible to

Examples for ‘direct applicability’ are Regulations, Decisions, and Treaties, or said otherwise, these EU laws which are directly applicable as they do not require any other transposing into the national law of a country. To define direct effect, the principle of direct effect, which has been first established by ECJ in the case of Van Gend en Loos v Nederlandse Administratie der Belastingen [1963] , can be used. In this case, the court held that the essence of direct effect was built on the fact that EU law has been endeavoured to grant rights to individuals whose rights, therefore, have to be enforceable. The court held that there are three conditions that a treaty must satisfy for a direct enforcement in national courts, namely, that the provision must be sufficiently clear and precisely stated; it must be unconditional and not depend on any other legal provision; and it must confer a specific right upon which a citizen can base a
The case of Francovich had a significant impact on the European Union (EU) law. If a conflict arises between the EU law and the national law, the EU law highly prevails. The European Union law is a framework of treaties and legislation, which have a direct or indirect effect on the laws of the member states which are bound to the European Union. Primary and Secondary laws are the two sources of the EU law. This essay will firstly analyse the main institutions of the European Union and define various legal terms. It will then move on, to discuss the case of Francovich and the importance it had for state liability. Furthermore, it will refer to subsequent cases which are linked with state liability and had an impact on the EU Law. Lastly, my own views about State Liability will be presented.
The Role of General Principles in E.U. Law as Opaque and Uncertain Since the founding European Community Treaties of the 1950’s there has been a noticeable evolution in regards to the lack of provisions concerning the protection of human rights in the conduct of the Community affairs. Primarily this evolution was the work of The Court of Justice, who stated that “the ‘general principles of EC law’ include protection for fundamental rights which are part of the common constitutional traditions of Member States. ”[1] Article 249 of the EC treaty lays out the sources from which the Community may govern, with greatest emphasis being placed on regulations and directives. However, there are ‘softer’ forms of law, which have been adopted due to their natural and logical evolution in practice.

Two main sources of law in the common law system are statutes and judicial decisions. The UK’s law inherited from the authority of courts which developed over the centuries, following the ‘stare decisis’ doctrine which built the stability and certainty in the law. This law survived for over a thousand years even in the absence of the statutory regulations in some areas. However, the Parliament as the supreme law-making body has the power to override or change current case law through the legislation but its power has been significantly weakened since signing the European Community Act in 1972. The membership covers some important areas as communication, trade and the human rights therefore influencing domestic law significantly. (OU, 2014, Unit 4)

Under EU legislation concerning competition law states that ‘direct effect of the prohibitions laid down in Articles 101 and 102 of the Treaty that any individual can claim compensation for the harm suffered, where there is a causal relationship between that harm and an infringement of the EU competition rules.’ Damages claims for infringements on Article 101 and 102 TFEU consider being an important area of the private enforcement system.

Over the years, different jurisdictions had built their specific system of rules of conduct to govern behaviour. These legal systems, influenced by historical and cultural roots, can be distinguished in two families, the Civil law and the Common law legal systems. The distinctions lies in the process in which each decision is make by the judge and on the legal sources that shapes the law. Indeed, by contrast to the Common law system, which is largely based on Precedents, meaning the decisions that have already been made by judges in similar cases, the Civil law system is based on legislator’s decisions and legal codes with which judges have to justify their judgment . Consequently, instead of referencing to concepts and rules

The doctrine of Supremacy of the EU Law has been adopted from the European Court of Justice, in which the doctrine covers all aspects of law in member states. The supremacy is evidently implied in the Treaty on European Union Article 4(3) and Treaty of the functioning of the European Union Article 18 , which emphasises the prohibitions against discrimination. This is then supported by Article 288 TFEU whereby the regulations are binding upon each member state. Furthermore, Article 344 TFEU ensures resolution between member states. This assignment will discuss to what extent the acceptance of the supremacy of the EU law has been problematic in regards to parliamentary sovereignty.

Anecdotal Notes Before Intervention • Adam has a habit of getting distracted by objects at this desk. He especially likes chewing and sucking on his pencil, erasers, and markers.

During this College Composition course, I came across numerous obstacles and educational involvements. Every factor of this course contributed to my overall learning experience. For starters, we often read out of our textbooks, “The Little Seagull Handbook” and “They Say I Say”. These books helped showcase proper writing techniques. In addition, we would have class discussions that everyone would participate in. This opened my eyes to different viewpoints that could influence my writing. I recall one class we had a debate over a topic and everyone had to choose a side to argue. Then when we wrote argument essays, even though they were on a different topic, it helped me view my topic in different ways. Lastly, the most helpful to my writing was peer review. We were told to read our paper out loud to our partner. Although personally I am quiet and dislike reading out loud, I found this very helpful. Instantly, my partner and I could find grammar mistakes that one may not pick up on while reading silently. Then we could also talk about other possible revisions for my paper. For every paper, we would have conferences with the professor. This was effective as well to have a professional giving corrections and ideas. When we would get back our graded rubrics on the assignments we completed, the instructor would leave comments to
