Abstract
On 11 November 2014, the Court of Justice of the European Union ('CJEU') issued a judgment attracting considerable media attention, as it touched upon the core of austerity measures, the financial crisis, and, more generally, the causes for scepticism towards the European Union ('EU') especially as to the rights of free moving citizens within the EU.1 The Dano judgment highlights the limits to benefit tourism, and strikes an unusually stringent tone. The limits to benefit tourism will be the focus of this article.
