Synopsis

This fully revised and updated new edition offers a detailed exposition of EC Directives, individual rights, and the protection of those rights in national courts. Throughout the text, the author's empirical argument is enriched by discussion of doctrine and theory. In an updated conclusion, the prospects of Directives in the future and in the light of the nascent European Constitution are discussed. The result is an extensive and in-depth analysis of Directives, the case-law of the ECJ, and legal writing on the topic, which also engages with the more practical issues of implementation and enforcement in the courts.

From the Back Cover

This book offers us the first detailed exposition in print on EC directives, individual rights, and the protection of those rights in national courts. The author investigates three central themes: the characteristics of EC directives; the role which national courts play in protecting the rights which individuals derive from these directives; and the 'devices' and means by which the courts may implement this protection. Focusing initially on clear examples in the Court's case law, the author moves on to analyze specific 'lines' within the case law itself. This practical approach enables the author to meticulously examine how these lines may complement and confront each other.
