Paid annual leave: the intense dialogue between the Courts

Abstract

The right to paid annual leave has gained in recent years increasing importance, not only in the domestic and in international sphere but above all in the uni-European one, thanks to the progressive elevation of the status of this right and to the growing attention shown by jurisprudence. In an attempt to put the matter in order, the essay discusses the rich jurisprudence elaborated by the Court of Justice and the internal judges, focusing on the main issues still debated today that continue to animate the dialogue between the Courts.
