Judgment of 25 Nov 2010law://eu/cjeu/2009/c-429-09/para_77@2026-11-12

77According to the Court’s case-law it would be contrary to the principle of effectiveness to oblige injured parties to have recourse systematically to all the legal remedies available to them even if that would give rise to excessive difficulties or could not reasonably be required of them (Danske Slagterier, paragraph 62).
