New Directions in European Public Law

by Jack Beatson, Professor Paul Matthews

Overview

This collection of essays arises from two symposia held by the University of Cambridge's Centre for Public Law and Centre for European Legal Studies in the winter and spring of 1997. It presents an analysis of a cluster of issues arising in the EU public law arena but naturally falls into two interrelated but distinct parts. The first part deals with issues of liability in public law and the availability of remedies in EC and domestic law. The second part deals with EU public law on a broader canvas,by examining the phenomenon of cross-fertilization among national legal systems in Europe and between national systems and EU law. The book also examines the judgment of the Divisional Court of 31 July 1997 in R v. Secretary of State for Transport ex parte Factortame Ltd and the post-Francovich judgments in Palmisani, Maso and Bonifaci delivered by the Court of Justice on 10 July 1997.

Editorial Reviews

…this book provides a combination of interesting perspectives in European public law. It leads the way to further comparative legal research into the evolving system of national remedies for the breaches of Community law.” —European Public Law

“The book is an important work not only because of its detailed analysis of the existing case law relating to State liability but also in identifying possible future developments in this field.” —European Law Review
