This book is an insightful, thought-provoking study of one of the world's most important courts. There is no doubt that the European Court Justice has had a transformative effect on EU Law, but not without controversy.
This book explores these criticisms, asking if concerns over judicial activism, unconventional interpretative methods, conflicts with national courts and over-reach are justified. Drawing on the expertise of leading commentators in their sectors, its ambitious scope explores the question from across the spectrum of EU Law. Its analysis includes the political dimension, giving the fullest understanding of the environment in which the Court and its judgments have operated.
