Description
The European Court of Justice has played a major role in the development of what is now the European Union, but the way the Court has used its powers have been highly controversial. The new edition of this book examines the contribution of the Court in shaping the legal framework within which the EU operates. It considers the Court's place among the Union's institutions; its organization and working methods; what its powers are; how it has used those powers to resolve important questions of both constitutional and substantive law; and certain general questions relating to its overall approach. Throughout, the implications of the Union's Constitutional Treaty, signed by the Member States in Rome in October 2004 are taken fully into account.Features
- New edition of a leading single volume treatise on the jurisprudence of the ECJ
- Discussion of key issues of the Court's jurisdiction, direct effect, remedies, and fundamental freedoms
- Analyses the role reserved for the Court under the Union's new Constitutional Treaty
Reviews
Review from previous edition
"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. ... 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. In this respect, the book will prove to be of interest to practitioners and scholars in the field of European law."--Columbia Journal of European Law
