Argument by Analogy In Europian Law

Abstract: ARGUMENT by analogy is one of the oldest methods of decision making. Whenever the similarity between two situations induces someone to decide one case like another, an analogy is drawn. Argument by analogy also forms an integral part of legal reasoning. Arguably, every legal tradition employs some version of it to justify judicial decisions. European law has only just started to develop its own distinct jurisprudence. As the various judicial systems present in the European Union struggle for recognition of the… Show more

“…Directionality between analogates should not be confused with other criteria, such as those used in the distinctions between a posteriori and a priori analogies (Govier 1989(Govier , 2002(Govier , 2010, inductive versus deductive analogies (Barker 1989), and empirical versus normative analogies (Langenbucher 1998;Eemeren and Garssen 2014). These distinctions may be of interest while classifying analogical arguments but are scantly relevant while classifying analogies in general.…”

“…The example involves analogy, which is an extreme type of emphasizing certain similarities. The element of comparison is indeed also brought to the fore mostly with regard to analogical reasoning (Langenbucher 1998).

“…For a long time in judicial activity, the legislator's silence regarding the legal regime for the lease of certain elements of an object was regarded as a case of "qualified silence of a negative type" (Langenbucher, 1998), equivalent to an implicit ban that cannot be overcome in law enforcement activities neither through interpretation nor through the analogy. So, in paragraph 1 of the Information letter dated January 11, 2002 No.…”
