This book examines from a practical perspective the increasingly significant impact of European Community law on English domestic law and procedure. It examines both the general principles of how EC law is given effect in the English courts, and also the impact that EC law has had on a numberof particular key areas of English law. The highly eminent team of contributors is drawn from members of the judiciary and leading academics and practitioners in the field. The volume will be welcomed by practitioners and scholars alike as an illuminating study of how the domestic legal communityhas responded to the challenges posed by a new legal system which seems fundamentally different in many respects from their own. From the Foreword by Lord Bingham of Cornhill, the Lord Chief Justice 'The book makes plain the pervasive influence of Community Law on broad swathes of our economic and social life. Through the medium of our national courts, Community Law has become a central feature of legal life, and it can no longer be seen (as perhaps it once was) as an arcane study pursued by ahandful of eccentric lawyers with a taste for the occult This is a very interesting book, and a very timely one. The editors are to be congratulated on assembling an outstanding team of judges, practitioners and academics to address these important, topical and challenging issues.'

European Community Law in the English Courts

Robin C. A. White

The system for the protection of human rights under the European Convention to Human Rights (`ECHR') represents the most complete judicial model for protecting such rights. The case law of the Court of Human Rights has elaborated and defined the substantive rights so that there is now adetailed set of standards for State conduct towards those within their jurisdiction. This completely re-written new edition of Francis Jacob's 1975 book on the Convention takes the case law of the Court as its starting point, but also offers full consideration of the Commission's case law onquestions of admissability. The result is a highly readable text which both explains the procedural aspects of bringing a case to Strasbourg (including the changes contained in Protocol No. 11) and analyses the substantive law of the Convention.

The European Convention on Human Rights

"The highly experienced and respected authors select the most important case law and give a highly authoritative, concise account of the European Convention on Human Rights. Focuses on the European Convention itself rather than its implementation in any one member state, and so is essential reading for human rights students across Europe. Examines each Convention right in turn, with a newly revised structure to map even more closely to human rights courses. As a lecturer and a practitioner, the authors are perfectly placed to provide up-to-date coverage of Strasbourg case law and explain it in a lively, straightforward manner" -- From publisher's website.
