Judgment_paragraph 25 · LB v TO (C-120/21)

25In that regard, the Court has found that Article 7(1) of Directive 2003/88 does not in principle preclude national legislation which lays down conditions for the exercise of the right to paid annual leave expressly conferred by the directive, including even the loss of that right at the end of a leave year or of a carry-over period, provided that the worker who has lost his or her right to paid annual leave has actually had the opportunity to exercise the right conferred on him or her by the directive (judgment of 6 November 2018, Kreuziger, C‑619/16, EU:C:2018:872, paragraph 42 and the case-law cited).
