Onder 3.8 Parket bij de Hoge Raad 17 juni 2020

Een alinea uit Parket bij de Hoge Raad 17 juni 2020, ECLI:NL:PHR:2020:615.

“Protection of legitimate expectations may be said to differ from legal certainty with regard to ‘the time factor’. Legal certainty requires the rules which apply at a given time to be clear and precise for the benefit of the individual. Protection of legitimate expectations, on the other hand, requires public authorities to exercise their powers over a period of time in such a way as to ensure that ‘situations and relationships lawfully created under Community law are not affected in a manner which could not have been foreseen by a diligent person’. Legal certainty therefore has a static character whereas legitimate expectations are enjoyed for the future. This explains the different functions of the principles. Legitimate expectations may be a source of substantive rights whereas legal certainty has a more general character and is usually invoked as a rule of interpretation.”
