DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book provides a thorough overview and critical analysis of the European Court of Justice's case law on national remedies and procedures for the enforcement of EU law. It examines how and why such rules have been Europeanised through the application of the principle of effective judicial protection, which is the main rationale for the limitation put on national procedural autonomy. The book contains detailed analysis of how the requirement of effective protection has been understood in relation to a range of national remedies (right to damages, interim relief, judicial review and repayment of charges) and procedural rules (standing, evidence, legal aid, division of costs, time-limits, ex officio raising of issues and res judicata). The second half of the book looks at how the Swedish judiciary has responded to the European case law on effective judicial protection. Here what emerges is that national legal and judicial culture is of vital importance when it comes to national courts fulfilling their European mandate and rendering EU law effective. The author then asks whether, in light of this, the principle of effective judicial protection is a functional and effective tool to achieve the Europeanisation of remedies and procedures.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"This Commentary provides for an in-depth insight into the procedural rules of the EU Courts in Luxemburg. The substantive aspects of the legal remedies at the Court of Justice, the General Court and the Civil Service Tribunal, are laid down in the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union while the procedural aspects are scattered over the Statute of the Court of Justice, the Rules of Procedure of the three jurisdictions, as well as the derived 'Instructions', 'Practice Directions' etc. This Commentary discusses European procedural rules, article by article, including the amendments to the Statute and the recast rules of procedure of the Court of Justice. It thus enables the reader to access easily any rule governing the procedure before the EU Courts. This book covers the abundant case-law and addresses academic questions, as well as a multitude of practical issues in order to provide a comprehensive and also critical analysis of the various rules of procedure." -- Publisher.
Standing to Enforce European Union Law before National Courts

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAccess to court has long been recognised as an essential element of a Union based on the rule of law. This book asks, how can Member States ensure that their rules on standing guarantee that right? The book answers this question by analysing the requirements of EU law from two angles: first, the effective protection of Union rights; second, the effectiveness of Union law per se. With detailed case law examination, the book formulates an autonomous Union law doctrine of standing based on the principle of effective judicial protection. It then goes further, setting out an effectiveness test of Member States' enforcement mechanisms, to ensure that EU law is rendered operative in practice. This is a rigorous study on a question of immense importance.
Handbook of European Criminal Procedure

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis volume analyses criminal procedural issues from a European perspective, particularly in connection with EU law and ECHR law. As such, it differs from previous works, which, on the one hand, generally focus only on EU law, and, on the other, address both procedural and substantial aspects, as a result of which the former receive inadequate attention. Indeed, criminal procedural matters in the European context have now reached a level of complexity, but also of maturity, that shows the features of a great design, which, even if not yet defined in all its aspects, appears sufficiently articulated to deserve to be explained in a systematic way. The book offers a guidance for practitioners, academics and students alike. It covers a broad range of topics: from the complex system of the sources of law to the multilevel protection of fundamental rights; from vertical and horizontal judicial and police cooperation to the instruments of mutual recognition, primarily the European Arrest Warrant; but also the European Investigation Order, the execution of confiscation orders, the ne bis in idem principle, the conflicts of jurisdiction and the enforcement of judgements. The book also reflects the latest regulation on the establishment of the European Public Prosecutor’s Office.
Public Liability in EU Law

DOWNLOAD EBOOKOver the last two decades public law liability for breach of European Union law has been subject to remarkable developments. This book examines the convergence between its two constituent systems: the damages liability of the EU and that of its Member States for failing to comply with EU rules. Member State liability, based as it is on the Francovich case (1991) and Brasserie du Pêcheur and Factortame (1996) judgments of the European Court of Justice (ECJ) is well established. But it is yet to be closely scrutinised by reference to the detailed rules on the liability of the European Union. The focus of the book is on the two key legal criteria that are common to both systems, namely the grant of rights to individuals by EU law and the notion of sufficiently serious breach of such rights. The analysis concentrates on developments in the case law of the ECJ and the General Court since the Bergaderm judgment (2000), which consolidated the convergence of the two liability systems that was first indicated in Brasserie du Pêcheur and Factortame. These two criteria are set side by side to evaluate the extent, in real terms, of the convergence of Member State and EU institutional damages liability, and to determine the extent to which one has influenced the other. This book shows that although full convergence between the two liability systems is not likely, each stream of case law should look to the other more actively as this important element of EU remedial law develops. Convergence in EU law public liability is supported by developments in adjacent areas, most notably European tort law and European administrative law. This study also illustrates how convergence in the EU liability systems to date has had spill-over effects into national public liability law.
Individual Rights in EU Law

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book explores the EU law notion of ‘individual rights’. It examines which sorts of rules grant EU legal rights to individuals, how it is decided if a right is conferred, and which individuals may claim the judicial protection of a right. It further discusses the legal implications and consequences of holding an EU legal right with respect to the interpretation and application of EU law in general and to specific remedies such as declaratory remedies, injunctions, restitution and damages. On a more overarching level, the book explores the question of how the idea of EU law rights relates to other fundamental EU law concepts such as the principles of effectiveness and direct effect, and discusses the legal stringency of the EU courts’ ‘rights language’ in light of the overall aim of European integration. It thus contributes to the body of literature that aims to shed new light on the borders of the sui generis legal order that is EU law.
The Europeanisation of English Tort Law

DOWNLOAD EBOOKTort law is often regarded as the clearest example of traditional common law reasoning. Yet, in the past 40 years, the common law of England and Wales has been subject to European influences as a result of the introduction of the European Communities Act 1972 and, more recently, the implementation of the Human Rights Act 1998 in October 2000. EU Directives have led to changes to the law relating to product liability, health and safety in the workplace, and defamation, while Francovich liability introduces a new tort imposing State liability for breach of EU law. The 1998 Act has led to developments in privacy law and made the courts reconsider their approach to public authority liability and freedom of expression in defamation law. This book explores how English tort law has changed as a result of Europeanisation - broadly defined as the influence of European Union and European human rights law. It also analyses how this influence has impacted on traditional common law reasoning. Has Europeanisation led to changes to the common law legal tradition or has the latter proved more resistant to change than might have been expected?
