In this paper, we extend our previous result from [16]. We prove that transport equations with rough coefficients do possess a uniqueness property. Our method relies strongly on duality and bears a strong resemblance with the well-known DiPerna-Lions theory first developed in [8]. As an application, we show a uniqueness result for the Euler and Navier-Stokes equations at the Leray regularity scale. In turn, this theorem stands as a barrier against the paradoxical weak solutions constructed in [17], [18], [19] and later reformulated in [6].
