Customer Reviews

A must for every EU law student!
This book is the most comprehensive and up-to-date authoritative piece that somebody can find in the market.

The text is very well-structured, following a perfectly logical order, being supported by many authorities, which are commented and explained both on a national and a European dimension. No casebook or supplementary textbook is needed.

The language is very clear - being a foreign student in an English university I had no difficulty in reading and understanding it.

It cannot be compared to any other textbooks in this field! - Simply perfect!

The foundation to a good mark.
Don't be daunted by the size of this book, it is huge but covers numerous topics and modules.

The book is a great blend of case law, text and Articles from other writers who give great detail to the piece they are writing about. The detail is there to enable a student to get a high mark, if you're looking to just get through a module, then perhaps nutshells would be a better alternative.

Although detailed, it held my attention and made a very hard area of the law degree a good bit clearer.

I used this book as the basis for introduction to european law, competition law, EU commercial Law, EU social Law and then supplemented those with extra readings and didn't do too badly.

No other Law book will prove as useful for the course as a whole.

Excellent for students.
I have to let law and business students know how much of a life-saver this book is! It looks daunting because of the size of it, but within, it is clear, coherent, very-well-structured and includes loads of extra reading. It's passed me in EC law, so it'll pass you too!
