Abstract
The consistency of national and European Union law can be introduced and maintained not only through the enactment of legislation by the Union but also through the activity of national courts of the Member States and of the Court of Justice of the European Union. Both these categories are closely interlinked and affect each other deeply. The assimilation of legal norms should, in a perfect perspective, lead to the equal settlement of legal problems on their respective legal basis. This article aims to examine the role of judicial review that is conducted by the Court of Justice and the national courts to provide the legal consistency within the European Union. It has been hypothesized that these authorities create an effective, cohesive body that is focused on providing linkages aimed at the creation of a harmoniously applicable legal system.
