Description
This is the third edition of what has become the standard reference and teaching book on French law. Following the formula adopted by the original author, the late Otto Kahn-Freund, Professor Rudden has nevertheless managed to revise and streamline the new edition in ways which should make it usable for English students. To begin with, many more extracts from cases and statutes have been translated into English, while for the abler student with a good command of French a wealth of material remains in the original French version. The balance between English and French has thus been altered to render the book more "user-friendly". This book is aimed at students of French law and comparitive law. In addition, serious students and scholars of EEC law will find that a close reading of the text will reward them with a better understanding of the context within which EEC law operates in France and Europe generally.
