In this monograph, Aistė Mickonytė examines the compliance of the European anti-cartel enforcement procedure with the presumption of innocence under Article 6(2) of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). The author maintains that the pursuit of manifestly severe punishment with insistence of the European Commission on administrative-level procedural safeguards is inconsistent with the robust standards of protection under the Convention. Arguing that EU anti-cartel procedure is criminal within the meaning of the Convention, this work considers this procedure in light of the core elements of the presumption of innocence such as the burden of proof and the principle of fault. The author zeroes in on the de facto automatic liability of parental companies for offences committed by their subsidiaries.

"This book offers a new account of modern European constitutionalism. It uses the Irish constitutional order to demonstrate that, right across the European Union, the national constitution can no longer be understood on its own, in isolation from the EU legal order or from the European Convention on Human Rights. The constitution is instead triangular, with these three legal orders forming the points of a triangle, and the relationship and interactions between them forming the triangle's sides. It takes as its starting point the theory of constitutional pluralism, which suggests that overlapping constitutional orders are not necessarily arranged 'on top of' each other, but that they may be arranged heterarchically or flatly, without a hierarchy of superior and subordinate constitutions. However, it departs from conventional accounts of this theory by emphasising that we must still pay close attention to jurisdictional specificity in order to understand the norms that regulate pluralist constitutions. It shows, through application of the theory to case studies, that any attempt to extract universal principles from the jurisdictionally contingent interactions between specific legal orders is fraught with difficulty. The book is an important contribution to constitutional theory in general, and constitutional pluralism in particular, and will be of great interest to scholars in the field."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

"In its case law on the use of lethal and potentially lethal force, the European Court of Human Rights declares a fundamental connection between the right to life in Article 2 of the European Convention on Human Rights and democratic society. This book discusses how that connection can be understood by using narrative theory to explore Article 2 law's specificities and its deeper historical, social and political significance. Focusing on the domestic policing and law enforcement context, the book draws on an extensive analysis of case law from 1995 to 2017. It shows how the connection with democratic society in Article 2's substantive and procedural dimensions underlines the right to life's problematic duality, as an expression of a basic value demanding a high level of protection and a contextually limited provision allowing states leeway in the use of force. Emphasising the need to identify clear standards in the interpretation and application of the right to life, the book argues that Article 2 law's narrative dimensions bring to light its core purposes and values. These are to extract meaning from pain and death, ground democratic society's foundational distinction between acceptable force and unacceptable violence, and indicate democratic society's essential attributes as a restrained, responsible and reflective system."

Tout en restant fidèle à une démarche strictement scientifique, hors tout militantisme « pro » ou « anti » droits de l'homme, cette nouvelle édition est conforme à la nouvelle orientation retenue depuis l'édition précédente, tant sur le fond quant à l'objet de l'analyse que sur la forme quant à sa présentation. D'une part, l'auteur centre de façon exclusive sa réflexion sur les droits garantis par la Convention européenne des droits de l'homme, le présent manuel étant conçu en complémentarité avec son Traité de droit européen des droits de l'homme (LGDJ, 2e éd., 2012). D'autre part, il prend en compte les attentes des étudiants de licence et master ainsi que de ceux qui préparent les examens et concours d'accès à l'École des avocats ou de la magistrature : c'est la raison pour laquelle sont désormais inclus dans les développements des encadrés avec non seulement les articles de la Convention européenne garantissant les droits et libertés, mais aussi des extraits des principaux arrêts de la Cour européenne ; par ailleurs, à la fin de chaque droit étudié, outre une bibliographie, une fiche intitulée « L'Essentiel » synthétise les points importants à retenir, les arrêts majeurs et les questions d'actualité. L'ouvrage s'adresse principalement aux étudiants, mais aussi aux praticiens du droit et, d'une façon plus générale, aux justiciables et à tous ceux qui, juristes ou non, s'intéressent à ces questions.
