Author Description

Product Description This is the first detailed work on EC directives, individual rights, and their protection in national courts. A lucid, practical approach employing the examination of case law enables the author not only to shed fresh light on the various lines at work within the Court's case law with regardto individual rights, but also to investigate the ways in which these lines may confront each other. The author's argument is further enriched through the use of doctrine, theory and comparative analysis as further tools for illustrating specific problems. This enormously useful book, which not onlyinforms readers but engages them in lively debate on theory and doctrine as well, will be invaluable for practitioners, officials, judges and anyone interested in the effect of EC law in any European jurisdiction. Review `'constitutes a new standard work for European lawyers...specific problems are clearly spelt out, the right questions are asked and the theoretical elements offered for further analysis...lucidly written, sharp in its analysis and thought provoking.''
