Abstract: The right to free movement embodies both the power to interfere with contractual freedom and contractual freedom itself. Neither is absolute, and the realization of either needs justification in situations of conflict in light of the impact it has on the realization of the other. Where free movement rights embody fundamental rights capable of interfering with economic freedom - most notably, the prohibition of nationality discrimination - this constitutionalized private law will find its countervailing force in the ability of private parties to call upon the constitutional protection of their private autonomy - in privatized constitutional law. Where free movement rights embody economic freedoms, this privatized constitutional law will find its countervailing force in the ability of private interfering parties to call upon collective values laid down in fundamental rights and general principles of law - in constitutionalized private law. This settlement sacrifices both the doctrine of the supremacy of European Union law and the hierarchy of norms in its traditional constitutional understanding to an exercise in balancing rights and principles. Résumé: Le droit de la libre circulation contient à la fois le pouvoir de s'immiscer dans le domaine de la liberté contractuelle et la liberté contractuelle elle-même. Aucun des deux n'est absolu et la réalisation de l'un doit être justifiée dans des situations de conflit à la lumière de l'impact qu'il a sur la réalisation de l'autre. Là où les droits de la libre circulation contiennent des droits fondamentaux pouvant s'immiscer dans la liberté économique - le plus évident étant l'interdiction de discrimination basée sur la nationalité - ce droit privé constitutionnalisé va trouver sa force compensatoire dans la possibilité pour les parties privées de faire appel à la protection constitutionnelle de leur autonomie privée - en droit constitutionnel privatisé. Là où les droits de la libre circulation contiennent des libertés économiques, ce droit constitutionnel privatisé va trouver sa force compensatoire dans la possibilité pour les parties privées intervenantes de faire appel à des valeurs collectives fixées dans les droits fondamentaux et les principes généraux du droit - en droit privé constitutionnalisé. Ce règlement sacrifie à la fois la doctrine de la primauté du droit de l'Union européenne et la hiérarchie des normes dans son sens constitutionnel traditionnel pour tenter d'équilibrer les droits et les principes.
