The subject of this research is the impact of the Court of Justice of the European Union. The study reveals the multitude of areas in which the Court has been the catalyst of the evolution. The legal changes brought have both promoted fairness between European citizens and developed their fundamental rights. Although the European Union started from a purely economically oriented entity, it shows the translation of European visions and values into improved quality of life, as well as focusing on economic, social and political developments. The research shows the obstacles encountered by the Court and the imperfections of the decisions taken. However, it has to be recognized that even if the Court in some cases took on a risky assumption of competences and in other cases wanted to impose itself by unwillingly questioning the remaining sovereignty of the Member States, in the end the evolution is positive. The rulings of the Court of Justice of the European Union have generally had a positive effect both in the formation of today’s European Union and in the achieving objectives crystallized in this common European path of equity, prosperity and socio–economic development.
