Legal Certainty in the Preliminary Reference Procedure
Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd (Verlag)
978-1-78897-954-2 (ISBN)
As well as focusing on the contribution made by judges’ legal backgrounds, John Cotter also investigates the role of the balance between institutional and personal independence and accountability. He further applies Karl Llewellyn’s approach and re-models it into a European setting, identifying the EU legal system features that assist in promoting decisional steadiness in the preliminary reference procedure.
Exploring also the significance of procedural rules and practices at the Court of Justice in steadying outcomes, this book will be an excellent resource for scholars of the EU legal system. Its analysis of the role of factors that steady the rulings of the Court of Justice of the European Union will also make this a useful read for legal theorists interested in examining the factors that influence judicial decision-making.
John Cotter, Lecturer in Law, School of Law, Keele University, UK
