Arnull captures the most important developments until the entry into force of the Treaty of Amsterdam and hopefully creates the basis for a better understanding of developments to come. The value of Arnull's work lies in its clear approach to the important questions of substantive and constitutional Community law through an examination of the Court's case law in a single volume.... Another strength of the book is that Arnull touches upon all the current problems relating to the Court's role in the development of Community law and now even European Union law.
