The efficacy of legal protections for rights is a live issue across Europe, within individual jurisdictions and pan-European legal structures. Szente and Lachmayer have compiled a collection that provides a detailed account of effective legal protection as delivered by national administrative laws. The book provides a jurisdictionally wide-ranging resource for comparative administrative lawyers, and a fascinating counterpart to studies of procedural justice at the European level.Professor Roger Masterman, LLB, LLM, AKC, Professor of Law and Head of School, Durham Law School, Durham University.
