European Law and National Organisation of Civil Justice

Wolfgang Hau (Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich), Bart Krans (Leiden University) and Anna Nylund (University of Bergen) edited European Law and National Organisation of Civil Justice with Nomos. The book is part of the Streitbeilegung und Streitvermeidung im Zivilrecht – Schriftenreihe des Munich Center for Dispute Resolution.

The book explores the interplay between European law and the civil justice systems within EU Member States. Through various lenses, the authors investigate how both EU primary and secondary law, as well as rulings from the European Court of Justice and the European Court of Human Rights, shape not only national civil procedural laws but also the structure of national judicial systems.

Topics dealt with include providing answers to questions such as when a body qualifies as a court under EU law, what is a judicial decision from an EU law perspective, identifying the specific tasks that EU law reserves for formal courts, and examining judicial protection as protection against the judiciary discussing if there is a right of appeal against court judgments in European civil procedure.

Contributors include Wolfgang Hau, Bart Krans, Anna Nylund, Aleš Galič, Wolfgang Hau, Anna W. Ghavanini, Piet Taelman, Jarich Werbrouck, Jordi Nieva-Fenoll, Laura van Kessel and Bart Krans.
