Case law:

, Fundamental rights in Europe: tutorial 4
ECtHR, Handyside v the United Kingdom, 7 December 1976, No. 5493/72
ECtHR, Sunday Times v the United Kingdom, 26 April 1979, No. 6538/74

ECJ, Case 314/85 Fotofrost v Hauptzollamt Lubeck-Ost [1987] ECR 4199
ECJ, Case 283/81 CILFIT v Ministry of Health [1982] ECR 341
Question 1
Watch de video on admissibility conditions, available here
Find an admissibility decision of the ECtHR on the case law database Hudoc.
Explain on the basis of which condition the application is declared non-
admissible, how the Court arrived at its conclusion and whether or not this
condition is mentioned in the video.
NB. You should be able to read your decision in class, on paper or digitally.
Inadmissible reasons:
Did not exhaust domestic remedies
manifestly ill-founded her complaint did not make sense.
Question 2
Remember Bella and her lawsuit on the basis of her right to privacy from tutorial
3. Suppose she lost her lawsuit with the district court of Member State Y three
months ago. This judgment is subject to appeal with the highest administrative
court.
Bella had asked the district court to refer her case to the CJEU, because she
believed that the presidential decree ordering the publication of her pictures is
an incorrect implementation of EU Directive 1234/2017 The district court,
however, refused to refer her case to the CJEU because this would be a waste of
time and public money.
a. Is this refusal by the district court contrary to EU law?
You start at art. 267 TFEU:
may refer: the Court may refer, is not obliged to refer.
shall refer: the Highest Court needs to refer because there is no higher
court possible.
It shall refer. Why is there a distinction between the highest court and the lowest
court? Because of the uniformity interpretation of Union law. Otherwise there
will be different interpretation between several MS’. So the Court itself needs to
ensure this uniformity by giving the right interpretation of Union law.
