Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this case commentary is to analyse the judgment of the European Court of Justice of 2 April 2020 in case C-830/18. The case concerns a student attending a German school whose right to a free journey to school was refused because he lived with his mother in the territory of France. The federated state argued that it is only obliged to organize school transport for pupils residing in that particular state. The Court did not agree with the federated state and pointed to the problem of discrimination against frontier workers. In examining the case, the Court focused not only on the rights of a pupil attending a German school but also on the social privileges afforded to his mother as a frontier worker. The text uses the method of an analysis of the law in force as established by the legislator.
