200-689: A preliminary ruling and appeals against decisions of the General Court . Under Article 258 (ex Article 226) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union , the Court of Justice may determine whether a Member State has fulfilled its obligations under Union law.

400-654: A Dutch transport firm brought a complaint against Dutch customs for increasing the duty on a product imported from Germany. The court ruled that the Community constitutes a new legal order, the subjects of which consist of not only the Member States but also their nationals.

The principle of direct effect would have had little impact if Union law did not supersede national law. Without supremacy

500-413: A Union institution, that is a party to certain proceedings, so requests, or in particularly complex or important cases. The court acts as a collegial body: decisions are those of the court rather than of individual judges; no minority opinions are given and indeed the existence of a majority decision rather than unanimity is never suggested. It is the responsibility of the Court of Justice to ensure that

600-472: A carefully drafted dress code applied consistently does not violate anti-discrimination laws. So long as the dress code does not favor one gender over the other it is usually acceptable by law for employers to have a private dress code.

900-498: A legal solution to the case before the judges deliberate and deliver their judgment. The intention behind having Advocates General attached is to provide independent and impartial opinions concerning the Court's cases.

1400-613: A popular workplace dress code that emerged in white-collar workplaces in Western countries in the 1990s, especially in the United States and Canada. Many information technology businesses in Silicon Valley were early adopters of this dress code. In contrast to formal business wear such as suits and neckties (the international standard business attire ), the business casual dress code has no generally accepted definition; its interpretation differs widely among organizations and

1500-584: A problem of the same nature is raised. Although such a reference may be made only by a national court, which alone has the power to decide that it is appropriate do so, all the parties involved – that is to say, the Member States, the parties in the proceedings before national courts and, in particular, the commission – may take part in proceedings before the Court of Justice. In this way, a number of important principles of Union law have been laid down in preliminary rulings, sometimes in answer to questions referred by national courts of first instance. Rulings end with

1600-399: A question to the European Court of Justice. These are the first references by each constitutional court: Procedure before the ECJ is determined by its own rules of procedure.

3900-485: The technology industry . Some businesses observe that anti-discrimination laws restricts their determining what is appropriate and inappropriate workplace clothing.
