Justice for both: Effective judicial protection under Article 47 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights and the Unfair Contract Terms Directive

PhD student: Mrs Dr J.M.L. van Duin

Promotor: Mrs Prof C. Mak

Duration: 1/9/2015 - 31/12/2018

PhD defence: Amsterdam, 23/10/2020

Abstract:

This project investigates the functions of Article 47 of the EU Charter in European private law adjudication, more particularly cases concerning remedies under the Unfair Contract Terms Directive (93/13/EEC). The focus is on the process of linking national remedies to (breaches of) EU rights, and the use of Article 47 as an instrument for national judges to balance interests and reach a decision in private legal disputes. This project will specifically look at enforcement on the national level before the national civil courts of selected Member States: the Netherlands, Spain and the United Kingdom (England & Wales).
