The Greatest Possible
Freedom: Interpretive Formulas and Their Spin in Free Movement Case Law
by Thomas Burri (Author)
The book entitled 'The
Greatest Possible Freedom' tells the story of natural persons in the internal
market. The first part contains a thick chronological description of the case-law
of the Court of Justice of the European Union on free movement of persons and
services, including the hitherto largely neglected coordination of social
security. In this sizeable body of case-law including roughly 1400 decisions
the book then traces the evolution and spin of certain interpretive formulas.
Broad formulas like the greatest possible freedom or coordinative formulas like
simple coordination are thus examined and their almost eerie power comes to
light. Both practitioners representing clients in the internal market and
academics interested in the internal market or interpretation more generally
will likely find the book an essential read
