The English Judges and European Community Law

Abstract

The way in which English courts and tribunals construe and apply Community law is of manifold interest, not least to the outside observer. English judges reacted at first with misgiving. Even if they were prepared, as was Lord Denning in Bulmer v. Bollinger, to concede that Community law (unlike English law) is expressed “in sentences of moderate length and commendable style,” they hastened to add that Community law, and Continental law behind it (unlike English law), “lacks precision,” lacks interpretation clauses and is full of gaps and lacunae.
