This paper aims to analyze the scope of overlapping jurisdiction and divergent interpretations between the European Court of Justice (ECJ or Luxembourg Court) and the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR or Strasbourg Court) on the right to respect for private and family life as enshrined in Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights. First, this research focuses on the origins of the ECJ’s fundamental rights case law and the further developments introduced by the Maastrichtand Amsterdam treaties. Then, this paper studies the conflictsbetween the Luxembourg and Strasbourg Courts case lawregarding the interpretation of the right to private and familylife as applicable to business premises and legal persons. Finally,this research analyzes whether the potentially binding effect ofthe Charter of Fundamental Rights and the future EuropeanUnion’s accession to the ECHR, would contribute to achievethe necessary coherence between the European Convention andCommunity law. It is concluded that accession to the ECHR isnecessary for achieving that goal, since it would contribute toavoid different interpretations of the European Convention’srights by the ECJ and to enlarge its jurisdiction in every casewhere those rights are affected by Community measures. |
