Consistency in the chambers of the ECJ: a case study on the free movement of goods.

Evaluates the concern that the strategy to reduce delay in the European Court of Justice by the parallel processing of cases in the court's chambers will lead to inconsistent rulings and fragmentation by analysing the court's jurisprudence on non-tariff barriers to the free movement of goods between November 2006 and October 2009. Discusses the structure of the court and its strengths and weaknesses. Considers the appropriate methodology for assessing any differences of approach between the court's chambers.
