EVOLUTION OF THE SCHOLARSHIP ON THE TELEOLOGICAL METHOD OF LEGAL INTERPRETATION BY THE COURT OF JUSTICE OF THE EU: SOME OF THE MOST PROMINENT VOICES REVIEWED2

Abstract

This paper reviews in a chronological order two seminal works of the  distinguished authors from a considerably rich  scholarship dedicated to the  teleological method of legal  interpretation of the  CJEU. The purpose is to highlight how the research on this subject evolved over time. Writing extra-judicially, the authors of the reviewed papers are  Advocate General Nial Fennelly as well as the  Vice-President of the  Court of Justice of the  European Union Koen Lenaerts and the  Legal Secretary at the  Cabinet of the  Vice-President José A. Gutiérrez-Fons, which once read together takes the  shape of a thought-provoking dialogue and gives  a profound insightful insight from  inside the  Luxembourg Court  about the  place of teleological interpretative method in 90s  and almost a decade later.
