The European Court of Justice and its Critics

<p><b>This book provides an insightful, thought-provoking study of one of the world’s most important courts. The European Court of Justice has had a transformative effect on EU Law but this has not been without controversy.</b><br><br>This book explores criticisms levelled against the Court, examining whether concerns over judicial activism, unconventional interpretative methods, conflicts with national courts, and over-reach are justified. Drawing on the expertise of leading commentators, it offers various perspectives from across the spectrum of EU Law. The contributions included in the volume go beyond a legal analysis seeking to provide an understanding of the political and social context in which the Court operates and the wider impact of its judgments.</p>
