Judgment of 28 Jan 2004

law://eu/cjeu/2001/t-142-01/para_97@2026-11-13

97The applicant submits that it is clear from the case-law of the Court (Case C-368/89 Crispoltoni [1991] ECR I-3695 and Case C-310/95 Road Air [1997] ECR I-2229) that the retroactive application of an act by a Community institution is contrary to the principle of legal certainty if it places the person concerned in a less favourable legal situation and if his legitimate expectations are not properly respected. The applicant's legitimate expectations were infringed by Regulations Nos 808/2001, 1163/2001 and 1670/2001, in so far as they applied new legislation retroactively.
