Judgment_paragraph 77 · RL v Landeshauptstadt Wiesbaden (C-61/22)

77As regards the requirement laid down in the first sentence of Article 52(1) of the Charter that any limitation on the exercise of rights recognised by the Charter must be provided for by law, it should be recalled that that requirement implies that the act which permits the interference with those rights must itself define the scope of the limitation on the exercise of the right concerned, bearing in mind, on the one hand, that that requirement does not preclude the limitation in question from being formulated in terms which are sufficiently open to be able to adapt to different scenarios and keep pace with changing circumstances and, on the other hand, that the Court may, where appropriate, specify, by means of interpretation, the actual scope of the limitation in the light of the very wording of the EU legislation in question as well as its general scheme and the objectives it pursues, as interpreted in view of the fundamental rights guaranteed by the Charter (judgment of 21 June 2022, Ligue des droits humains, C‑817/19, EU:C:2022:491, paragraph 114).
