«Our
main goal is understanding the
principles underlying living systems,» Milz, director of the consulting firm Ecotop, told Earther.
In the present case, since it is apparent from paragraphs 29 and 30 above that neither Directive 2004/17 nor its
underlying general
principles impose on Member States a specific obligation to lay down provisions requiring the contracting entity to grant its contractual partner an upwards price review after the award of a contract, the provisions of Legislative Decree No 163/2006 at issue in the
main proceedings, in so far as they do not provide for periodic price review within the sectors covered by that directive, do not have any connection with that directive and can not, therefore, be regarded as implementing EU law (C - 152 / 17, paras 33 - 35, references omitted and emphases added).
The
main sources of adjudicative law I describe are
underlying legal
principles, social practice, and judicial fiat implementing a court's policy judgment.
