Fairhurst S Law Of The European Union

"We are excited to present the thirteenth edition of Law of the European Union. This is the second time we have updated this popular textbook, which was originally authored by Professor John Fairhurst, and we have continued to pursue an accessible but thorough approach throughout. We have worked to build on and improve the innovative features that we introduced in the last edition, including the addition of new reflection boxes to provide further consideration of interesting or difficult issues. Other features that facilitate accessibility and easy navigation of the material include: a brief glossary at the beginning of each chapter; learning objectives that correspond with chapter headings; the division of case boxes into 'facts', 'ruling' and 'significance'; diagrams to illustrate procedures or conditionality; and chapter summaries"--

The European Union is a legal system unlike any other in history. It is also facing unprecedented challenges, controversies and uncertainty as the UK seeks to implement Brexit. At its heart, Law of the European Union aims to shed light on this unique forum by providing a clear and accessible overview of the constitutional arrangements of the Union, and the law and jurisprudence which underpins the substantive areas of core EU Law. Building on previous editions of the book by John Fairhurst, this 12th edition has been extensively reworked by a new author team to ensure it continues to meet the requirements of contemporary EU Law modules by: Streamlining its coverage to focus only on the constitutional law of the EU and the core substantive areas of free movement of people, workers and goods to reflect the typical LLB syllabus. Expanding coverage of direct effect, fundamental rights and the division of competences to provide more detailed information on these topics. Increasing the level of debate and analysis providing more nuanced coverage of the subject enabling the student reader to reflect on broad, underlying issues or controversies. Incorporating a range of new or improved features and diagrams to support learning including case boxes which explicitly highlight the facts, ruling and significance of each case discussed and reflection boxes which draw attention to key issues, discussion points and future possibilities. Weaving coverage of Brexit throughout.

Law of the European Union is at the cutting edge of developments in this dynamic area of the law. It explores the EU's constitutional and administrative law, as well as the major areas of substantive EU law. Topics are extensively illustrated with decisions from the European Court of Justice and the General Court (the renamed Court of First Instance), encouraging students to consider real world applications of the principles of law.

Law of the European Union, part of the Foundations Series, offers a comprehensive, clear and straightforward account of the law ideal for LLB and GDL students.

"This updated fifth edition of Law of the European Union provides a realistic, non-abstract treatment of EU Law. Topics are illustrated as far as possible by decisions of the European Court of Justice and Court of First instance, and each major area of substantive law is explored by considering its application within the UK."--BOOK JACKET.

Second or third year LLB courses in EC or EU law in law departments. One-year full-time or two-year part-time CPE (common professional examination) or Diploma courses in law departments. Students of non-law disciplines taking introductory courses in EC law. The book treats Community law in a realistic, non-abstract manner, as a highly important source of law in regular and frequent application in the UK courts. Community 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.
