'Originally developed by the German Constitutional Court, proportionality as a tool to examine limitations or infringements of fundamental rights is today discussed worldwide and practiced in more and more countries, albeit in different ways. The comparison of six leading jurisdictions makes this book a foremost source of information on the proportionality principle and a valuable guide for its practical use.' Dieter Grimm, Professor of Law, Humboldt University Berlin and Former Justice of the German Constitutional Court
