ALTERNATIVE TECHNIQUES FOR COMBATING THE ABUSE OF LAW EMPLOYED BY EU LAWTÉCNICAS ALTERNATIVAS PARA COMBATER O ABUSO DE DIREITO EMPREGADO PELA LEGISLAÇÃO DA UE
The present study/research aims to understand the functioning of prohibition of abuse of law in European Union, as a "legal technique" to deny the exercise of the right or exclude the application of EU law where a behavior is found abusive by the private. Such an analysis is indeed the starting point for understanding more deeply the normative meaning of this prohibition, also by placing it in relation with the other protection techniques of which the Union system disposes. More specifically, through a comparison with the use of alternative techniques, the aim of the research is to define whether this prohibition can be considered as an effective technique in EU law, that is to say concretely applicable to the fight against abuse. The role of the Court of Justice of the European Union in the fight against abuse: final considerations on the extent of the prohibition of abuse and its operation in EU law. The main objective of the research was to understand the legal meaning and operation of the prohibition on the abuse of rights in EU, as a legal technique to exclude the application of EU law or to deny the right attributed by EU law where abusive behavior by the private individual is found.
