The Boundaries to Dialogue with the European Court of Human Rights

This contribution aims to answer the question which legal boundaries are applicable when domestic courts engage in a dialogue with the ECtHR about a Strasbourg judgment. This question is answered from an international legal perspective, i.e. the perspective of the ECtHR, and the perspective of eleven domestic legal orders. Where possible, this contribution will comment on the practical significance of the legal boundaries found, so as to put their significance into perspective.
