    The Human Right to Equal Access to Health Care

    Book | 1st edition 2012 | United Kingdom | Maite San Giorgi
    The right to equal access to health care is a fundamental principle that is part of the human right to health care. For victims of a violation of the human right to equal access to health care it is important that a judicial or quasi-judicial human rights body can adjudicate their complaints in this regard. This book analyses the justiciability of the human right to equal access to health care. It examines how cases concerning unequal access to health care would be dealt with by judicial and quasi-judicial human rights bodies and distils the elements that can be expected to play a role in the assessment of such cases.

    Law and Economics in the RIA World

    Improving the use of economic analysis in public policy and legislation
    Book | 1st edition 2011 | Europe | Andrea Renda
    The use of economics in public policy, in the form of ex ante Regulatory Impact Analysis (RIA), is strongly advocated by international organizations such as the OECD and the World Bank. In the US and the EU, hundreds of RIAs are produced every year to justify public intervention in the form of regulation. But reality shows that in many other countries the adoption and implementation of this tool has been patchy at best.

    Constitutional Constraints on Ad Hoc Legislation

    A Comparative Study of the United States, Germany and the Netherlands
    Book | 1st edition 2011 | United Kingdom | Anna Jasiak
    Legislatures sometimes adopt laws that create a special legal regime for a particular case rather than general rules for an indefinite number of situations or persons. These ad hoc laws are controversial. The purpose of this first in-depth comparative study in the fields of constitutional law and legislative studies is to clarify the use and existence of ad hoc laws and to place them within a constitutional framework of the rule of law. It is a comparative study of the United States, Germany and the Netherlands.

    The Costanzo Obligation

    The obligations of national administrative authorities in the case of incompatibility between national law and European law
    Book | 1st edition 2011 | Europe | Maartje Verhoeven
    National administrative authorities are obliged to leave provisions of national law unapplied when these are incompatible with EU law. Irrespective of their position and powers under national law, national administrative authorities are supposed to comply with this so-called ‘Costanzo obligation’ as established by the Court of Justice. This raises questions of both European Union law and national constitutional law, particularly with regard to the principle of legality.
