Sumario:This research examines the role currently played by the Court of Justice of the European Union in EU governance in light of recent case law, looking firstly at landmark court rulings from the past decade (2010-2019), with a particular focus on the Bauer and Broßonn case (2018) due to its particular relevance regarding the direct horizontal effect of rights recognised by the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union and, indirectly, the applicability in a dispute between private parties of the provisions of a directive that gives concrete expression to these rights. It goes on to analyse the prominent position held by the Court of Justice within the institutional system of the EU subsequent to the Treaty of Lisbon of 13 December 2007, to give a better understanding of how this institution has been able to make such a decisive contribution to preserving and consolidating EU integration. The work concludes by thinking over whether there exists a government of judges within the European Union.
