Abstract
In this contribution, we describe the way the Dutch courts have - in a sometimes rigorous, sometimes cautious, and sometimes downright activist way - engaged in rights review of parliamentary legislation. As we will note, the case law of the highest courts shows a tendency to assume a positive lawmaking role in a limited number of cases.
