Don't Act Beyond Your Powers: The Perils and Pitfalls of the German Constitutional Court's Ultra Vires Review.
- Authors
Bast, Jürgen
- Abstract
The article focuses on the German Federal Constitutional Court's referral to the European Court of Justice (CJEU) about the validity of the European Central Bank's (ECB) Outright Monetary Transactions (OMT) Program of purchasing government bonds. The Constitutional Court has developed two remedies for protecting the German constitutional law against harm caused by the European Union's (EU) institutions: the ultra vires review (UVR); and the basic structure review (BSR).
