Description
Bloomsbury Publishing PLC The Principle of Proportionality in the Laws of Europe by Edited by Evelyn Ellis
This book of essaysthe product of a conference held at the University of Birmingham in the spring of 1998 contains contributions from a group of extremely distinguished scholars in the fields of both public and private law. The meaning of proportionality is examined in a number of different contexts including those of EC law the domestic law of the Member States of the EU and the law of the European Convention on Human Rights. Its substantive content and procedural implications are analysed and contrasted in particular with the concept of Wednesbury unreasonableness. Its use in criminal and anti-discrimination law is also examined as is its future likely impact in the UK after incorporation of the European Convention.
