Zusatztext Prechal has produced a second edition of Directives in EC Law that has many scholarly strengths and very much to offer the reader who delves into its pages. Informationen zum Autor Sacha Prechal is Professor of International and European Institutional Law, University of Utrecht Faculty of Law. Klappentext This book offers us the first detailed exposition in print on EC directives, individual rights, and the protection of those rights in national courts. The author investigates three central themes: the characteristics of EC directives; the role which national courts play in protecting the rights which individuals derive from these directives; and the 'devices' and means by which the courts may implement this protection. Focusing initially on clear examples in the Court's case law, the author moves on to analyze specific 'lines' within the case law itself. This practical approach enables the author to meticulously examine how these lines may complement and confront each other. Zusammenfassung Offers an exposition of EC Directives, individual rights, and the protection of those rights in national courts.
