Actions against Community Institutions before the Court of Justice: Administrative Jurisdiction

  • Chapter
Judicial Remedies in the European Communities

  • 66 Accesses

Abstract

The constitution of every international organization sets limits to the powers of that organization. Usually the interpretation of those limits is left to its executive organs. In the European Communities, whose decisions and regulations directly affect the rights and duties of citizens, the founders have provided for a judicial review over the actions of the executive. The Court of Justice exercises that review. In this respect its task is not principally to adjudicate upon the subjective rights of two equal parties, but rather to verify the objective legality of a governmental act, on the basis of an assumption that such act is valid.
