Q.3) Ruritania decision to not transpose age provisions of the Directive within the time set means that the prison guards Albus and Bellatrix will suffer damages by Ruritania’s non-implementation of Directive 2000/78/EC.
The reason for Ruritania deciding to extend transposition until 2006 was due to construction of this new Parliament building so these events would explain the further delay, but initially as Ruritania took six months to inform the Commission of their wish to extend the transposition period. The Commission was not informed instantaneously about Ruritania’s decision and so Ruritania debatably committed a breach of European Union law.
The principle of State Liability was conventional in the case of Francovich & Others v Italy. Francovich and other workers had certain rights under the Directive concerned to which Italy had not implemented at that tme. However, neither direct effect nor indirect effect could grant their rights due to Italy’s non-application of ex Directive 80/987. The ECJ held in that in Francovich, ‘a Member State is required to make good loss and damage to individuals ’ caused by the failure of the State to move a relevant Directive.
The principle which is established in Francovich was developed in the precedent of the joined cases of Factortame and Brasserie du Pêcheur. These cases recognised in their judgment, a standard of three conditions that a Member State must be able fulfill to be open for a breach of EU law below State Liability.
So in this case the body of State responsible for the breach is the Parliament of Ruritania. The State liability criteria is that the result of the Directive should involve the grant of rights to individuals, these rights should be recognisable by the provisi...

...de suspending national legislation violating EU law. Relatinf this then back to the case, the ECJ could in fact suspend operation of Ruritanian law. As punishment under Article 263 (3), Ruritania may face a daily fine and lump sum which is calculated according to the 2005 Commission’s Communication.
The possibility of Rurtiania to bring defences under the procedures of Article 258 and Article 260 TFEU is quite high. For example, the defence of an unreasonable time limit fixed by the Commission which is seen to be accepted in the case Commission v Belgium. The strongest and most reliable defence Ruritania could rely on is an unlawful obligation, which is bringing an action for annulment under Article 263 since the state of Ruritania would honour the right to go into court and be heard, there would be no need to show that their entitlements are being threatened.
Working unitedly is a basic thing to do if you have one to 10 people, but with almost a whole country working as a union is a significant and a spontaneous deal. Which Union am I talking about? The European Union, of course! This Union holds virtually all of the European Countries with 28 countries. Unfortunately, some countries never did join because of losing sovereignty.
Prutha Patel Mr. Lougheed Social Studies 09 February, 2016 Has Europe United? Do you believe that the European Union has united Europe? A supranational cooperation is when countries give up some control of their affairs as they work together to achieve shared goals. The European countries have used supranational cooperation to create the European Union because they want to prevent future wars, and rebuild the weak economy that had formed after the two wars. The European Union has united Europe because it has made Europe have a common currency called the Euro, has a common “government” for the European Union, and has all of the countries influenced when one country that is part of the European Union is in “trouble”.
Mamo v Surace (“Mamo”) examines fault and finality, in the context of an unavoidable accident. Definitional discussion emerges within the idea of “fault”, with the outcomes ultimately furthering the legal avenues of victims of blameless accidents, enabled by the separation of non-tortious negligence and “fault”. Notably, the dismissal of arguments raised at appeal furthers the notion that circumstantially, injustice must be endured for the sake of finality, to avoid greater an injustice inflicted upon the opposing counsel .

Although there were numerous movements in promoting the unity of the European, but it seems to have failed. Robertson indicates the unity principle’s outcome is less than what is desired. Thereby, as Murat notes, the court will invariably grant a leeway to the state in deciding the cases namely, the ‘Margin of appreciation’. This maxim owes it genesis from a French term ‘marge d’ appreciation’ that deemed as a doctrine which gives way to a state’s discretion in their governance.

Before discussing the notion that the European Union (EU) possesses a federal character, one has to define federalism (federal system).
In order to do that, first, the essay will define what understand by “jurisdiction” and the elements of the extraterritorial jurisdiction. Next, it analyses some key decisions and advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice and the European regional system in order to prove that extraterritoriality jurisdiction is already applicable and therefore, if the State fails to guarantee the rights contemplated in the human rights treaties, it incurs in international responsibility. Lastly, the essay will sum up the analysis and make some final remarks.
To start with, we may not live in England, but the language we speak is supposed to be English. So, one would think that a person would have no problem speaking this language at the workplace unless the job calls for a different language, This is not so. Countless people have challenged this policy of several different companies and this is what I will be discussing, in English. First, most of the workers speak English, maybe not as a primary language, but speak it to the best of their ability. This policy, to speak only English at the workplace, was completely and totally law-abiding since all the employees spoke English. Now, the employer did not say they could not speak Spanish during their break times. Only that while they were working, they were to speak English. This problem happens a lot in the Army because Hispanics' make up a considerable part of our Army. This problem should not come up though, because it is the United States Army. The US speaks English as its primary language. In the Army however, we can make a correction because if it is not directly related to the job, it should not be happening. It still does however, because it has become commonplace. Second, many employees speak Spanish and English, so these employees are bilingual.
The alleged offence committed in the present case relates to the conservation of the fishery resources in the exclusive economic zone (illegal fishing of toothfish). It was argued that the only offence committed by the Master of the vessel was his failure to notify its entry into the EEZ of the Kerguelen Islands and the tonnage of fish it carried on board, and that the vessel did not fish in the said zone. The Tribunal then applied various factors to the present case, (gravity of the alleged offences, range of penalties imposable under French law, value of the Monte Confurco and of the fish and fishing gear seized). The Tribunal found that the bond of 56,400,000 FF imposed by the French court was not reasonable pursuant to article 292 of UNCLOS. The Application concerning the allegation of non-compliance with article 73, paragraph 2, of UNCLOS was admissible and the allegation well-founded. The Parties were in disagreement whether the Master of the vessel was in detention. The Tribunal noted that the Master was not in a position to leave Réunion and considered that, in the circumstances of the case, it was appropriate to order the release of the Master in accordance with article 292, paragraph 1, of
The case emerged from the renaming of a concoction, by the Benelux nations, into a traditions class involving higher traditions charges. Preparatory inquiries were asked by the Dutch Tariefcommissie in a debate between Van Gend En Loos and the Dutch Tax Authority. The European Court of Justice held that this broke a procurement of the arrangement obliging part states to continuously lessen traditions obligations in
The rule of law requires compliance by the state with its obligations in International law.
The judicial statement of Roskill LJ observed in The Albazero [1977] AC774 held plenty of arguments in modern world today. To reach an extent of agree or disagree the judicial statement, it should be critically analysed from a legal perspective:
In Private International Law, whenever a question of conflicts of law arises, especially in English cases, and a reference is made to a foreign law, doctrine of renvoi comes into play. In this paper, we will have a quick glance on what renvoi means, its kinds, scope, objections, to what extent it is followed in English case law, analysis and finally conclusion.
