Read book Selected National, European and International Provisions from Public and Private Law : The Maastricht Collection (fourth Edition) (2015, Paperback) in MOBI, TXT, DJV
9789089521712 English 9089521712 The Maastricht Collection comprises a selection of international, European, and national legal instruments and provisions that have proven to be particularly relevant and useful to students and practitioners of European and comparative law. The compilation is based on the Maastricht University Law School's longstanding expertise in teaching and researching European, international, and comparative law. The book includes codes and statutory law from France, Germany, the Netherlands, the UK, international treaties, as well as legal instruments of the European Union. The main content is divided into chapters corresponding to different areas of law, such as constitutional and administrative law, criminal law, human rights law, private international law, and private law. The provisions in The Maastricht Collection are reproduced in the original English or in the authentic English version, where applicable, or they are freshly translated under critical editorship. Many existing translations of written law, including officious translations available on government websites, often seek to turn old-fashioned or ambiguous original texts into modern and elegant English. Or, instead of translating, they seek to explain how certain terms or formulations are interpreted in practice. The Maastricht Collection remains as much as possible true to the content, style, and syntax of the original, allowing the reader to appreciate not only the substance but also the authentic form of legal sources. This fourth edition constitutes not only a revision and update of the third edition, but also comprises a number of important additions, the most prominent of which is the inclusion of the Treaty on the European Union and the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. Due to the significant expansion of the collection, this new edition has been divided into separate public law and private law volumes to improve the ease of use. [Subject: Comparative Law, European Law, International Law], The Maastricht University Law Faculty is known for its outstanding expertise in the field of European and comparative law, and it attaches great importance to comparative legal studies in its teaching. This two volume textbook contains a selection of national, European, and international legal provisions which have proven to be particularly relevant in Maastricht's comparative legal studies. The expanded and updated fourth edition will assist students, academics, and practitioners in their comparative law work. The book covers the areas of: constitutional law * administrative law and administrative procedure * criminal justice * European and international human rights law * property law * tort law * national and European contract law * civil procedure * private international law * company law * international business law * international tax law. For each area, there is a selection of important legal provisions from France, Germany, the Netherlands, and the UK. This includes domestic constitutional and statutory provisions, provisions from international treaties, and instruments of the EU. In addition, selected sources from the US are provided. These sources are reproduced in the original English or are rendered as fresh English translations under critical editorship. Unlike many other translations, The Maastricht Collection remains true to the content, style, and syntax of the original texts. This allows the reader to appreciate not only the substance, but also the authentic form - and the beauty - of foreign legal sources.
