    Suspension of the Main Proceedings and Referral for a Preliminary Rul-ing. Gloss to the Judgment of the CJEU in Case C-176/22, Bk And ZhP, of 17 May 2023
    (Wydawnictwo KUL, 2024) Liakopoulos, Dimitris
    The preliminary reference as an appeal of the Court of Justice of the European Union presents many complexities and complicated interpretations over time, given that we have a national judge in the scene of the appeal process, often creating problems but also solutions for greater effectiveness of the law of the European Union and respect for domestic law. The preliminary ruling aims to resolve disputes between internal jurisdictions and evaluate compatibility with EU law, especially in the national procedural sector. Ensuring a postponement of the EU and, above all, protecting the rights of individuals in a concrete, complete and effective way is still questionable research, not so much on a theoretical level but also on a procedural one.

    The “Objective Friends” of the CJEU. The Role and Practice of the Amicus Curiae in the Procedural Law of the European Union
    (Wydawnictwo KUL, 2025) Liakopoulos, Dimitris
    The figure of amicus curiae in the law of the European Union does not allow and has not even foreseen up to now the participation of a subject/subjects outside of a dispute, but with their own legal interest to participate as amicus curiae. The Court of Justice of the European Union does not allow the possibility of participation in a figure that only allows the intervention of subjects other than states and institutions, which are pre-established by Article 40 of the Statute. According to the procedural rules of the Union, the observation of a series of elements testify that such a figure is also obvious but often necessary on some disputes such as those relating to technical matters, such as competition and the environment. The practice up to now has shown that the intervention is used by associations that carry general and legal interests allowing the performance of the function of amicus curiae in a rigorous manner within the limits of this figure. This work, based on a more jurisprudential practice, tries to reconstruct such institute in a comparative way also through other supranational courts, thus regulating the insertions of the amicus curiae to the judges of Kirchenberg.
