Publisher's Synopsis
This volume has for its theme the interplay between and influence exerted on approaches and legal concepts of private law, including property rights law, by primary EU law, particularly internal market law. The starting hypothesis is that the European Court of Justice has developed concepts in private law cases which are different in substance from the concepts which exist in the private law systems of the Member States. The project presents developments in present law of which EU lawyers and private lawyers generally are unaware. This book will be useful for academics, practitioners and students interested in EU internal market law or the relationship between primary EU law and private law.
