“Those with a taste for fairy tales seem to have thought that in some Aladdin's cave there is hidden the Community law in its splendour and that on a judge's appointment there descends on him knowledge of the magic words Open Sesame. Bad decisions are given when the judge has muddled the password and the wrong door opens. But we do not believe in fairy tales any more.”

4 This concept has been elaborated by Authors influenced by F. Geny. According to this view, deciding a case cannot merely consist of subsuming certain facts under a pre-existing rule of law; the decision itself will add to the interpretation of the rule to be applied, and may thus help to define its meaning.Google Scholar

5 This expression tended to accentuate the element of pure and mechanical logic in judicial decision making, while neglecting, or concealing, the voluntaristic, discretionary, element of choice.Google Scholar

In France, where the reaction against formalism started, the spokesman of the new generation of lawyers was Geny. He embodied the reaction of legal theory against the excessive legalism of the post-codification era.Google Scholar

19 It must be emphasized, in this context, a main difference, between the European Courts, particularly the European Court of Justice, where the jurisdiction is mandatory and the US Supreme Court, where most cases come to it by the procedure known as certiorari and over 95 per cent of these cases are dismissed without any review because they are considered as raising no issue of general importance nor representing major injustice. Thus, “the Washington Justices have the inestimable privilege of being able to decide what to decide.” See Mancini, G F., The US Supreme Court and the European Court of Justice, in Legal Aspects of Integration in the European Union 3 (Emiliou, & O'Keeffe, D. eds., London 1997). It must also be underlined, as brilliantly noted by O'Keeffe, D., that the European Court of Justice is sometime able to reach the same result by using the notion of inadmissibility under article 234. See O'Keeffe, D., Is the Spirit of Article 177 Under Attack? Preliminary Reference and Admissibility, 23 Eur. L. Rev. 509 (1998).Google Scholar

20 A clear exemplification of this attitude is given by the obstinacy of the Court to apply the mandatory requirements doctrine only to indistinctly applicable measures, often manipulating the configuration of the facts of the case, transforming a clearly discriminating measure into an indistinctly applicable measure in order to be able to justify it on the grounds of the mandatory requirement.

45 The Court reached its goal. In fact after the judgment the Commission started to do its job properly and brought a number of actions against the failing Member States.

46 So called because it was introduced for the first time by Brandeis in the case of Muller v Oregon, 208 U.S. 412, when before becoming a Judge of the Supreme Court, he worked as a lawyer before the same Court. Brandeis managed to prove that the physical differences and differences to attitude regarding work between men and women were such as to permit a State to prohibit a working day of over 10 hours for women alone. Basically, by presenting for the defence of his argument a voluminous documentation of a medical, sociological and psychological nature, Brandeis convinced the Court that the measure in question was not discriminatory since there were significant differences between the two sexes which legitimated it, and it was thus not in conflict with the Federal Constitution.Google Scholar

86 This should be a concrete explication of what I affirmed in the first part of the paper, when I contested the common opinion according to which judicial creativity should be present only in activist or pro-integration decisions and not in the cases where the Court decides to adopt an approach of self-restraint.

He explains the meaning of the principle of the Principle of Tolerance in the usual brilliant way: “constitutional actors in the Member States accept the European Constitutional discipline not because as a matter of legal doctrine…. They accept it as a it as a an autonomous voluntary act…. The Quebecois are told in the name of the people of Canada, you are obliged to obey. The French or the Italians or the Germans are told: in the name of peoples of Europe, you are invited to obey…. When acceptance and subordination is voluntary, it constitutes an act of true liberty and emancipation from collective self-arrogance and constitutional fetishism: a high expression of Constitutional Tolerance”Google Scholar
