 | | Hate Speech Revisited

Stefan Grundmann
Over the last decade, European company law has been re-written completely. Virtually no EU measure remained unchanged and most of them have undergone fundamental reform. This book discusses the EC/EU law first including all instruments through which it is transposed into the national law systems.
