    Questions referred

    Does Article 47 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union (1) which lays down the right to effective legal protection preclude national legislation that prohibits legal persons pursuing a commercial objective from obtaining legal aid?

    Must Article 47 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union be construed as having ensured the right to effective judicial protection, where the domestic law of the Member State, whilst excluding legal persons pursuing a commercial objective from receiving legal aid, automatically grants them an exemption from the costs and charges relating to legal proceedings where they are insolvent or in receivership?


    (1)  OJ 2000, C 364, p. 1.
