Abstract

Through the acknowledgment and balancing of the conflicting fundamental rights at stake in a private litigation, the courts ‘govern’ societal relationships. This judicial governance complements and adjusts the governance of the concerned societal relationships that takes place at the legislative level. This paper discusses a number of societal governance policies pursued, consciously or inconsciously, by national courts while deciding on private relationships through the application of fundamental rights. Thereby it considers casesdecided by courts in Germany, England, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal,Sweden and Spain. One may observe six major policy trends underlying these decisions: (1)the fight against discrimination, (2) the protection of weaker parties in contract cases, (3) the increasing valorisation of non-economic interests in tort cases, (4) the protection of privacy from intrusions by media, (5) the protection of political rights in privately owned public spaces, and (6) environmental protection in property cases.
从基本权利的适用看私法中的司法治理
通过承认和平衡私人诉讼中相互冲突的基本权利,法院“治理”社会关系。这种司法治理补充和调整了发生在立法层面的有关社会关系的治理。本文讨论了国家法院在通过应用基本权利来决定私人关系时有意或无意地奉行的一些社会治理政策。因此,它考虑由德国、英国、法国、意大利、荷兰、波兰、葡萄牙、瑞典和西班牙法院判决的案件。人们可以观察到这些决定背后的六个主要政策趋势:(1)反对歧视,(2)在合同案件中保护弱势方,(3)侵权案件中非经济利益的日益增值,(4)保护隐私免受媒体的侵犯,(5)保护私人拥有的公共空间中的政治权利,以及(6)财产案件中的环境保护。
