Bloomsbury Publishing PLC General Principles of Law: European and Comparative Perspectives by Edited by Professor Stefan Vogenauer Edited by Professor Stephen Weatherill
One of the more instructive and illuminating methods of charting the intersection of European and comparative law is to explore the question through the prism of general principles of law. This collection draws on the expertise of high-profile and distinguished scholars to do just that. Their explorations show how general principles of EU law need to be responsive to national laws. In addition it is clear that the laws of the Member States have no choice but to be responsive to the general principles which are developed at the EU law level. Viewed through the perspective of proportionality legal certainty and fundamental rights Examining the dynamic relationship between the ingenuity of the Court of Justice and the process of Treaty revision is comprehensively illustrated. This is a landmark publication assessing legal issues which go to the heart of the EU project.
