EU Law - Direct Effect
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 чер 2024
- Direct effect allows rights under EU law to be enforced within a domestic court system.
Vertical direct effect allows rights to be enforced against an emanation of the state while horizontal direct effect allows rights to be enforced against other individuals or against companies.
Direct effect is also conditional on the type of EU law that is being enforced. Treaties are a form of primary legislation and have vertical and horizontal direct effect so long as the relevant treaty article matches the conditions set out in Van Gend en Loos (1963):
Clear and unconditional
Prohibition
Not dependent on member state implementation
Regulations are directly applicable and as such also have vertical and horizontal direct effect.
Directives, in principle, only have vertical direct effect because they are an obligation for member states to implement them. Even then they can only be enforced when they grant rights to individuals (Defrenne v SABENA (No. 2) (1979)) and the time limit for implementation has passed (Pubblico Ministero v Ratti (1979)).
However there is a way that directives can have horizontal direct effect and this is known as indirect effect. This works because the courts themselves can be considered as emanations of the state and so in their judgments have to enforce EU law between individuals. This concept first arose in Von Colson v Land Nordrhein-Westfalen (1984) and was applied in the UK through Lister v Forth Dry Dock [1989].
An emanation of the state was defined in Foster v British Gas plc [1990] as a body that:
Provides a public service
Under the control of the state
Has special powers beyond those of individuals
Hi mate, I just wanted to give some serious kudos for taking the time making these videos. Super helpful, sussinctly explained and just well put together. Thanks
+Darrick Garz Thanks Darrick, really appreciate you taking the time to comment.

Amazing video! Especially with the university strikes and the whole coronavirus situation, teaching at my law school has been very low quality with final year exams coming up in a week so this video was a life saver! Thank you so much!
Hi Marcus, great video mate really helped me out you have! Just one question, how do you determine if a body has special powers? Could like powers delegated from the government count? And just so you know I’m dealing with a driving school! Thanks!
definitely the best explanation i have ever seen about the subject! thank you for the good work
Thanks!!!
you're welcome!
Your a genius!!! wow your video makes EU look sooo easy.

Thanks for taking the time to comment, best of luck with the revision!! :D
thank you so much. can we have videos on the role played by the CJEU in reviewing the legality of the acts of the Union institutions?
Veshna Naidoo Appadoo there is already one for that under EU judicial review (arts 263 & 265) ;)
oh okay. thanks :D
really helpful
Thank you so much mate, you’ve saved my EU lessons… I do wish that you could have been my instructor on this topic 😂😂 you are much much better than her…
Just a quick question - how do you determine from the facts whether a court of jurisdiction is mandatory or permissive? Thanks, your videos are so helpful!
you are innocently and adorably good.
Thanks
In your opinion, what do you think are the benefits and limitations of direct effect ? Also very helpful video
Excellent video, you might've just rescued the chances of getting my degree lol
Hey, thank you so much for the explanation. I just got one question because I didnt follow the fact of indirect horizontal effect which goes through the court. Could you please tell me more about it? Thanks so much!
thank you so muchh
Mate: Legend...
Thanks for sharing this video! I’ve a question about horizontal direct effect under (directives)- what are the exceptions that allow an individual to another individual relying on an EU directive?
Moe Othman yes please explain this! Thanks so much
Honestly the exceptions to Marshall v Southampton Health Authority are so few and far between they are hardly worth mentioning but if you're interested this article begins to explain the exceptions: www.keepcalmtalklaw.co.uk/foster-care-rethinking-horizontal-direct-effect-for-directives/
Love you marcus xxx
HEY I really understood this lecture but please can you do a lecture on institution particularly explaining checks and balances. thankyou
I have a problem question that I have been struggling with. It is with regards to the usefulness of indirect effect as a legal doctrine in the enforcement of directives? Thank you
YOU SAVED MY LIFE
Thanks a lot for this video, very helpful and interesting as usual!
I wanted to ask you about horizontal direct effect
If we are dealing with a directive which is not implemented (implementation date has passed), the directive doesn't really impose obligations on individuals, but gives rights to them under state liability concept so they can actually bring an action against a member state
Here I thought about indirect effect..it really depends on the willingness of the court to interpret domestic law in a manner, complied with a directive and it highly depends on the wording of domestic law
I was wondering how far can they go in interpretation of domestic law.. if, let's say, the directive requires some provisions to be in place but they are not
Would it be more convenient to consider state liability if a chance of enjoyment of indirect effect is quite low?
+Aibibi Kalibekova You should certainly look at Francovich and state liability in this context but an important factor is that this can take a long time to achieve and may only result in damages.
Thanks for the video just wanted to know would a university count as a public body still researching and have'nt found a clear answer
Hi there, thanks for your video really well explained, but I have a question;
in case of horizontal direct effect, if I also have a domestic legislation which covers the situation, can I still use the EU legislation to the same issue? or should I use the domestic legislation?
thanks
As long as it does the same thing you would just use domestic law.
thanks Marcus, appreciate your help

Hi Marcus,
I have recently struggled with this topic and it is what has come up for the exams, what is the approach if a member state passes a bill under which EU law would no longer have direct effect in the MS's legal system unless the MSParliament expressly provides for such direct effect on a case-by-case basis?
I am very confused. Please help :'(
