Eu Non-Discrimination Law In The Courts: Approaches To Sex And Sexualities Discrimination In Eu Law

Since the year 2000, the material and personal scope of EU non-discrimination law has been significantly broadened and has challenged national courts to introduce a comprehensive equality framework into their national law to correspond with the European standard. This book provides a multi-layered culturally informed comparison of juridical approaches to EU (in)direct sex and sexualities discrimination and its implementation in Germany and the Netherlands. It examines how and why national courts apply national non-discrimination law with a European origin differently, although the legislation derives from the same set of EU law and the national courts have to respect the interpretive competence of the CJEU. The book provides valuable insights into the national and European context which shape the dialogue and influences of the courts inter se, the national application of EU law, and the harmonization process within the area of gender equality law and beyond. A Dutch and German comparison provides an interesting case study to uncover legal and non-legal, cultural, and historic factors which influence the application of EU non-discrimination law in both countries.
