Protection of taxpayers
The book focuses on the protection afforded to taxpayers by the European Convention on Human Rights. It discusses the procedural guarantees of Article 6 of the Convention and the substantive rights guaranteed to taxpayers by Article 1 of Protocol no. 1 to the Convention (protection of property) and Article 14 of the Convention (prohibition of discrimination). These rights and guarantees are analysed through the prism of wide margin of appreciation afforded to the States in designing and implementing their tax policies.
Medical negligence
The book lies in the field of Legal Studies. The practical goal of this book is to provide an accessible yet challenging explanation of the cases dealt in the area of medical negligence, first by the European Commission of Human Rights (from 1954 to 1998, before Protocol 11 to the European Convention on Human Rights entered into force, allowing individuals to have direct access to the European Court of Human Rights) and later on by the European Court of Human Rights. The book is intended as a manageable and useful introduction in the legal issues examined by the above mentioned European judicial bodies in connection with allegations of medical negligence, and therefore does not attempt to delve into the entirety of the subject in the full detail it deserves.

Dissolution of political party
The Korean Constitutional Court adopted a two-prong test in its first case on dissolution of political party in determining whether to dissolve the political party. According to Article 8 Section 4 of the Korean Constitution, a political party may be dissolved if the purposes or activities of the political party are contrary to the fundamental democratic order. The Korean Constitutional Court not only used Article 8(4) of the Constitution as a standard of review for dissolution of political party but also adopted the principle of proportionality as another standard of review to be met even though the Constitution does not explicitly say so. The European Court of Human Rights has also used essentially a two-step test where the dissolution of a political party is justified if there is a pressing social need for the dissolution and the dissolution is proportionate to the legitimate aims pursued. In principle, the criteria established by the Korean Constitutional Court is very similar to the ones developed by the European Court of Human Rights even though the outcome of the application seems to be somewhat different.
Rome I Regulation and employment contracts
The purpose of this book is to discuss the main provisions of the Rome I Regulation relating to employment contracts with an international element. It outlines two competing objectives of the regulation, namely, to increase legal certainty and predictability of the law applicable to the contract and to ensure the protection of the employee as the party to a contract viewed as being weaker. It answers the questions concerning the scope of the autonomy of the parties making the choice of law, as well as the mode of indication of the applicable law in the absence of choice. It is clear from the considerations in the book that the solution adopted for individual employment contracts expresses the will of the authors of the regulation, to ensure, first and foremost, the protection of the worker as the weaker party to a contract.
