European labour law has an unmistakable influence on national law. This applies even more to the case law of the European Court of Justice, as it has implications for the application of European law in the Member States and thus the interpretation of national law. This book contains a collection of standard judgments that every labour lawyer must know. In addition, each section contains a number of judgments that are of particular interest to the Dutch legal system or determine the discussion on European labour law. The book is unique because it is the only one that focuses solely on European labour law and because each of the components is introduced with a text in which the judgments are placed in the broader European context. The book is also easy to use for the legal practitioner as it contributes to understanding the judgments and to determining whether and to what extent a particular judgment can be of importance for a case that he/she is dealing with.--
