Book Description
This book contains the text of the Inaugural Caius Mok Law Lecture, given by Geoffrey Ma at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge. 0The coming into effect of the Basic Law and the Hong Kong Bill of Rights Ordinance saw the constitutional implementation of the rights contained in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. The more than twenty years that have passed since the exercise of the resumption of sovereignty by the People?s Republic of China over Hong Kong have seen the latter?s courts grapple with legal challenges hitherto untouched. Cases have at times involved sensitive areas since some of the cases have originated from controversial politi-cal, social and economic events.00In meeting the legal challenges, the courts in Hong Kong have had to seek guidance from different sources and much assistance has been derived from European jurisprudence. The manner in which rights have been treated in European jurisprudence has been a major influence on how legal challenges unique to Hong Kong have been conceptualised and resolved under her common law system.

Book Description
This Research Handbook offers a comprehensive study of existing and emerging general principles of EU law by scholars from a wide range of expertise in EU law, international law, legal theory and different areas of substantive law. It explores the theory, content, role and function of general principles in EU law to better understand general principles as a mechanism for the substantive openness of the EU legal order as well as for cross-fertilization and coherence of legal orders. Their potential as a tool to manage the interaction of legal regimes and orders is a particular focal point and will make this Handbook a must-read for scholars of EU Law.

Book Description
This insightful book analyses the role that EU general principles have taken in the protection of fundamental rights within the EU since the Lisbon Treaty. In particular, the author focuses on the relationship between written law (the Charter of Fundamental Rights) and unwritten law (the general principles) within the institutional framework of the EU. The book demonstrates that due to their complementary and autonomous function toward the protection of fundamental rights, the general principles still play a key role within the Union despite the binding force of the Charter.

Book Description
This study focuses on a rapidly developing, but still highly controversial, area of EU law: the emergence of general principles with constitutional relevance for EU civil law guiding its interpretation, gap filling, and legality control. The book brings to light seven principles in the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union and in the Charter of Fundamental Rights. Principles 1, 2, and 3 on framed autonomy, protection of the weaker party, and non-discrimination are now part of substantive EU law, mainly contract law. Principle 4 on effectiveness, together with the principle of equivalence, is an "old acquaintance" of EU law and has mostly to do with procedures, but can also be extended to cover substantive and remedial matters. Principles 5 and 6 on balancing and proportionality are primarily concerned with methodological questions: the first has to do with judicial interpretation and application of EU civil law, the second with legal-political questions on the future of a (questionable) codified or optional EU civil law, in particular sales law. Finally, Principle 7 on good faith is still an emerging principle, but is gradually gaining importance. This book will allow the reader to understand and to assess the current evolution of EU civil law, in days where its autonomous character is increasingly recognized in the case law of the Court, and where the Charter is having a growing impact on its constitutional foundations.
