Eu Private Law cover

This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the evolving principles of EU private law, exploring its impact on traditional legal concepts and relationships.

In EU Private Law, the author explores the intricate relationship between European Union law and private relations, highlighting the expanding influence of EU legislation across various sectors of private law. The book delves into the complexities of EU law, which, due to its fragmented nature, is often examined in isolated contexts such as labor law, company law, and consumer law. However, this work takes a holistic approach, posing critical questions about the definition and implications of private law within the EU framework. It examines how EU private law interacts with traditional private law concepts and the effect of EU regulations on horizontal relationships among individuals and entities.

The author likens the development of EU private law to the growth rings of a tree, emphasizing that the numerous acts and judgments stem from foundational principles rooted in historical and comparative legal contexts. By systematically addressing the peculiarities of EU private law, the book proposes a comprehensive analysis of how these principles are applied within EU instruments and the rulings of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU). This approach not only clarifies the distinctions between EU and national private law systems but also facilitates a deeper understanding of the evolving landscape of legal relations in Europe.

EU Private Law is presented in ten parts, organized into four main sections focused on foundations, principles, enforcement, and external dimensions. The author's thorough examination of the various influences on EU private law offers a critical perspective on its current state and future direction. This work serves as an essential resource for both EU and national lawyers, providing insight into the integration of market-based, social, and ethical values into the legal framework of the European Union.
