| Description | The authors analyzing preliminary references rarely discuss factors which might actually urge a national court to request a preliminary ruling and thus constitute decisive incentives for the courts' decision to bring the matter before the Court of Justice. The present contribution tries to partly fill this gap by providing an analysis of two cases on free movement of goods decided by Czech and Slovak Supreme Courts. I argue that a request of a party to the proceedings to bring the case before the Court of Justice or a decision of the Constitutional Court quashing the Supreme Court's judgment might constitute decisive incentives for a preliminary reference. |
