EU Law is one of the leading textbooks in this area and covers, in a logical progression, both the institutions of the EU and the substantive law they produce, with significant recent developments in the law being introduced in an appropriate context.

This ninth edition has been fully updated and takes into account major new case-law developments, as well as recent legislative changes in the key areas, including the new European Constitution. Students are also introduced, with the inclusion of a new chapter, to the issues surrounding the free movement of capital.

An improved structure better reflects undergraduate courses and features such as chapter summaries and further reading lists ensure that the book is entirely focused on students' needs. A larger page format and improved two-colour text design also make the book easy to use.
