Churches Autonomies and European Case Law : new trends towards a general proportionnality theory

Primary tabs

Christians, Louis-Léon [UCL]

The paper analyses the new trends of the ECHR jurisprudence on church autonomy. Waiver test, centrality test, contextual exit test are becoming more complex and could be described together as a growing proportional test. Despite this evolution, the ECHR confirmation in favor of a high margin of appreciation for State-Churches relations leads to a new procedural but paradoxical approach: the more religious law is complex, the more it must be explained by the applicant and discussed by the Courts.
