Judgment_paragraph 20 · Belinda Jane Coote v Granada Hospitality Ltd (C-185/97)

20On this point, it should be noted that Article 6 of the Directive requires Member States to introduce into their national legal systems such measures as are necessary to enable all persons who consider themselves the victims of discrimination ‘to pursue their claims by judicial process’. It follows from that provision that the Member States must take measures which are sufficiently effective to achieve the aim of the Directive and that they must ensure that the rights thus conferred can be effectively relied upon before the national courts by the persons concerned (see, in particular, Von Colson and Kamann, paragraph 18; Case 222/'84 Johnston v Chief Constable of the Royal Ulster Constabulary [1986] ECR 1651, paragraph 17; and Case C-271/91 Marshall v Southampton and South West Hampshire Area Health Authority [1993] ECR I-4367, paragraph 22).
