European Legal Methodology, 2nd Edition, 7Author(s): Karl Riesenhuber\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Intersentia Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Intersentia Ltd\nISBN-13: 9781839701368, 978-1839701368\nSynopsis\nEU law is an autonomous legal system. It requires its own methodology. The contributions to this volume provide elements of a genuinely European legal method. They discuss the foundations of European legal methodology in Roman law and in the development of national legal methods in the 19th century as well as the economic and comparative background. Core issues of legal methods such as the sources of law, the interpretation of EU primary law and secondary legislation, the concretisation of general clauses, and judicial development of the law are also analysed.\n\nThe temporal effects of EU directives on the one hand and of judgments of the Court of Justice of the European Union on the other raise specific issues of EU law. Contributions are also devoted to issues of a multi-leve.
