Summary

This text provides an authoritative account and analysis of the general principles of EC law. This is essential both to an understanding of the development of the rapidly growing and increasingly specialised areas of substantive EC law, and to an understanding of judicial review in the EC. The development of general principles also shows how a case-law doctrine (EC 'common law') has evolved into an express recognition of fundamental rights under the Maastricht Treaty on European Union.
