| Abstract |
The Court of Justice of the EU (CJEU) is well known for its preference for extra-legal legal arguments over intra-legal ones. Indeed, in the CJEU’s interpretive practice, as a rule, linguistic arguments give way to systemic and teleological ones, and the Court’s prevalent approach favours policy arguments (i.e. extra-legal ones) over linguistic interpretation (i.e. a paradigmatic form of the deployment intra-legal arguments). The object of this study is a single decision of the CJEU, namely its judgment of 14 March 2013 in Case Aziz v Catalunyacaixa (Case C-415/11) in scope of proportion and significance of extra-legal and intra-legal arguments.
