EU Law after the Financial Crisis

Inhoud

The financial crisis has literally stress tested the European Union and indeed continues to do so. It has already laid bare many fundamental issues and conundrums of the European Union and the European Union’s legal system that had been waiting to be seriously addressed for quite a number of years.

This book examines the consequences of the financial crisis for European Union law not only with respect to various specific areas of the law, namely contract law, company law, capital markets law, banking law, competition law, tax law, insolvency law, but also with respect to fundamental issues regarding the role and function of the European Union and European law.
