Description
EC law now extends over a wide range of human activity, creating rights and obligations for individuals, as well as for member states. These rights may be invoked and obligations challenged by individuals before their national courts. The purpose of this book is to outline the principles and problems governing the award of remedies for branches of Community law, principally before domestic courts and tribunals. It addresses both the academic and practical aspects concerning the protection of Community rights by domestic courts which now play a major role in the enforcement of EC law. Josephine Steiner has also written "Textbook on EC Law".
