Sir Francis Jacobs has been one of the most influential Advocates General in the history of the Court of Justice. He became a member of the Court in October 1988 and served until October 2005, thus being the second longest-serving Advocate General and one of the longest-serving members of the Court. This chapter examines his contribution on locus standi of individuals under Article 230(4). The contribution of Jacobs AG in this area of law can be traced primarily by reference to his opinions in Extramet, UPA, and, more recently, ARE. The chapter focuses on his opinion in UPA and the resulting trialogue among Jacobs AG, the CFI and the ECJ as it unravelled in UPA and subsequent case law.Less

This book commemorates the career of Sir Francis Jacobs KCMG QC, who served as British Advocate General at the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg from October 1988 until January 2006. This collection of essays examines the key developments in EU law over the period that Sir Francis served as Advocate General, one that saw momentous changes in the character of the Union and its legal order. It encompassed the Treaty of Maastricht, which superimposed the Union on the pre-existing European Community, as well as the Treaties of Amsterdam and Nice; the proclamation of the Union's Charter of Fundamental Rights; the drafting of the Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe; the creation of the Court of First Instance and the EU Civil Service Tribunal; the completion of the single market; and the enlargement of the Union to 15 Member States in 1995 and 25 Member States in 2004. The period also witnessed a profound change in the nature of much academic scholarship on the law of the Union. The book is divided into five sections dealing respectively with: general issues and institutional questions; fundamental rights; substantive law; external relations; and national perspectives. The contributors are distinguished figures drawn from a variety of constituencies, including the national and European judiciaries, legal practice, and the academic world.Less

This chapter examines the role of the European Court of Justice in protecting fundamental rights. It shows that the Court's approach in this area developed progressively over several decades and different phases, through a number of judgments which were as bold as they were far-sighted. It has undertaken a dynamic interpretation of Community law, developing to their full extent principles inherent in the legal order originally created by the Treaties. The Court has carried out its mission and fulfilled its role in a consistent manner.Less
