ISBN: 9780198238621 / Angielski / Miękka / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book offers a new approach to a fundamental question: What is justice?

'The Public Interest' in Regulation
ISBN: 9780199269020 / Angielski / Twarda / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Using a series of case-studies from Britain and the USA, Feintuck explores how the concept is used in practice. Finally, Feintuck considers the legal forms in which the public interest might be manifested to offer legitimate and effective protection to vulnerable...
