‘Solidarity is booming’; it has become a notion that is used frequently in the literature as well as in the decisions of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU). It appears on its own, but sometimes it is linked with other terms like European solidarity; national solidarity financial solidarity; and furthermore, sometimes it is used as a synonym for equality or identity. The aim of this chapter is to explore the usage of solidarity in the jurisdiction of the CJEU. Therefore it is important to have a better understanding of what the term solidarity generally means. This knowledge may help us to better understand its usage in case law. In the first section of the chapter the meaning of solidarity is defined. In the second section I will look at the usage of that term in the case law of the CJEU. In the third section the findings are summarised.
