Judgment_paragraph 37 · JD v OB (C-562/22)

37As is apparent from the Court’s case-law, a measure such as the national legislation at issue in the main proceedings, which restricts the free movement of capital, is permissible only if it is justified by overriding reasons in the public interest and observes the principle of proportionality, a condition that requires the measure to be appropriate for ensuring the attainment of the legitimate objective which it pursues and not to go beyond what is necessary in order for it to be attained (see, to that effect, judgment of 21 May 2019, Commission v Hungary (Usufruct over agricultural land), C‑235/17, EU:C:2019:432, paragraph 59 and the case-law cited).
