daa plc, anciennement Dublin Airport Authority plc and Others v Irish Aviation Authority and Airport Coordination Limited (C-857/24)

Judgment of 15 Oct 2026

law://eu/cjeu/2024/c-857-24/para_53@2026-11-15

53With respect to Article 17 of the Charter, it is apparent from settled case-law that the protection afforded by that article concerns rights with an asset value creating an established legal position under the legal system concerned, enabling the holder to exercise those rights autonomously and for the holder’s own benefit. It is therefore necessary to determine whether the situation at issue in the main proceedings concerns a right with an asset value, which creates an established legal position enabling the holder to exercise that right autonomously (see, to that effect, judgment of 5 September 2024, Novo Banco and Others, C‑498/22 to C‑500/22, EU:C:2024:686, paragraphs 109 and 110).
