Popular Law Notes Direct effect EU legislation is said to have 'direct effect' when its provisions can be relied on in national courts. That is, directly effective provisions create rights and duties between individuals, which they can enforce in the courts of member states. There is a related concept sometimes mistaken for this, 'direct applicability', which states that certain provisions of EU law become national law without further enactment. However, 'direct applicability' is an institutional concept that concerns how law is incorporated, whereas 'direct effect' is a remedial concept that concerns whether the law can be relied upon (or enforced) by individuals. The distinction between direct effect and direct applicability has come about in an evolutionary way, through the development of EU case law by the European Court of Justice (ECJ). In any event, it is now established that some legal provisions are directly effective but not directly applicable, some are directly applicable but not directly effective, and some are both directly effective and directly applicable.

Featured Case law Errington v Errington (1951) This case (Errington v Errington [1952] 1 KB 290) demonstrates how a unilateral Offer cannot be revoked while the Consideration is excutory. A father wanted to help his son and daughter-in-law to buy a house. The father bought a house, providing one third of the price himself, and took out a mortgage for the other two thirds. He promised that if the couple maintained the mortgage payments, he would convey the whole property to them when the mortgage was paid. Time passed; the father died and the couple separated. The daughter-in-law continued to live in the house and both partners maintained the payments. The wife of the deceased, unprepared to allow the property to benefit her son's estranged wife, sued for return of the house.
