New Case Note on Kücükdeveci

There’s a new case note by Anja Wiesbrock in the German Law Journal that deals with the Kücükdeveci judgment of the ECJ. Wiesbrock notes the general tendency of the Court to shift the assessment of justifications to the stage of the proportionality test. She also points out that the Court now considers that the general principle of non‐discrimination has an autonomous scope of application that goes beyond the scope of Directive 2000/78.
