Judgment_paragraph 42 · O. G. v Presidente del Consiglio dei Ministri (C-700/21)

42In that regard, according to the settled case-law of the Court, equality before the law, set out in Article 20 of the Charter, is a general principle of EU law that requires that similar situations must not be treated differently and that different situations must not be treated in the same manner, unless such different treatment is objectively justified (see, to that effect, judgment of 2 September 2021, État belge (Right of residence in the event of domestic violence), C‑930/19, EU:C:2021:657, paragraph 57 and the case-law cited).
