Instruments for unifying judicial practice in the European Union

Abstract

The concern to ensure uniform judicial practice is a priority for most EU Member States and is reflected in the regulation in national law of numerous and varied mechanisms for unifying case law, some formal or informal, others involving an administrative or contentious procedure. The present research proposes to identify the mechanisms of unification of judicial practice existing at the level of the European Union States and an analysis of them in relation to the institution of the appeal in the interest of the law regulated by the criminal procedural legislation of our country. At the same time, we consider the following methodological means: literature review, comparative and epistemological method.
