Law of the European Community - John Fairhurst

This updated third edition of Law of the European Community, revised by John Fairhurst, provides a realistic, non-abstract treatment of Community Law for students. Topics are illustrated as far as possible by decisions of the ECJ referred by UK courts, and each major area of substantive law is explored by way of its implementation in the UK. The first part of the book focuses on the institutions and general principles of EC law in some depth, the remaining three parts focus on the main principles of the substantive law: free movement of persons and services and rights of establishment; free movement of goods; and competition law. In this new edition, recent case law and legislative and political developments generally have been covered, including the amendments which will be made to the EC Treaty once the Treaty of Nice comes into force (probably in 2002). The Treaty of Nice was primarily adopted to make constitutional changes to the structure of the EU in anticipation of its future enlargement. Remedies have been incorporated into Part 1 of the book where the constitutional and administrative law of the EC are dealt with.;There is also greater emphasis in Part 1 on the ECJ and CFI, judicial interpretation and the impact of the Treaty of Amsterdam on EC law generally, particularly the inclusion of the Social Chapter. A new feature of this edition is the integration of the book with a companion website at www.booksites.net to keep the book's contents relevant and as up to date as possible, with Internet references in the book at frequent intervals.
