Abstract
In the case Giordano v Commission1 national authorities revoked previously granted fishing quotas on the basis of provisions of EU law which were afterwards declared invalid by preliminary ruling of the ECJ. Aggrieved French fishermen sued for damages.1 Both the European General Court (EGC) and European Court of Justice (ECJ) dismissed the claims. Each of the three judicial actors in Luxembourg – EGC, Advocate General (AG), and ECJ – pursued a different legal approach. The author argues that none of the three answers delivered is free from error.
