Case Law C-99/16 (18/05/2017)

Type: Judgment

Authority: European Authorities: Euopean Union' Court of Justice

Date: 05/18/2017

Subject: The Court affirmed that the refusal, on the part of the competent authorities of a Member State, to issue a router for access to the private virtual network for lawyers to a lawyer duly registered at a Bar of another Member State, for the sole reason that that lawyer is not registered at a Bar of the first Member State, in which he wishes to practise his profession as a free provider of services, in situations where the obligation to work in conjunction with another lawyer is not imposed by law, constitutes a restriction on the freedom to provide services. It is for the national court to determine whether such a refusal, in the light of the context in which it is put forward, genuinely serves the objectives of consumer protection and the proper administration of justice which might justify it and whether the resulting restrictions do not appear to be disproportionate in regard to those objectives

Parties: Lahorgue

Classification: Freedoms - Art. 15 Freedom to provide services - Solidarity - Art. 38 Consumer protection
