• This paper examines the principle of Member State liability for breaches of European Union law committed by a national court adjudicating at last instance as established in the ruling of the Court of Justice of the European Union of September 2003 in the Case C-224/01 Gerhard Köbler v. Republic of Austria . It focuses on the assessment by the European Court of Justice in that case of the various approaches to Member State liability for judicial breaches under the national laws of the (then) fifteen European Union Member States. In an attempt to verify the Court’s conclusions, namely that the concept of State liability for judicial breaches constitutes a common principle that has been accepted in most European Union Member States, the paper presents a comparative overview of the prevailing national legal concepts in the area of State liability for judicial breaches.
