European Union Legislation

Joanne Sellick is Programme Manger for Law at the University of Plymouth. She lectures in Constitutional and Administrative Law and European Union Law and is the author of various textbooks and revision aids. Douglas Cracknell was called to the Bar in 1957 and he is still in practice. Over the years, he has devoted much time to writing and editing textbooks for students and practitioners. In 1961 Butterworths launched his Law Students' Companion series, each title containing case summaries and legislation in its amended form. Thirty years later, responding to current needs, Old Bailey Press published the statutes sections as separate volumes and these became the Cracknell's Statutes series. In 1994 he launched the loose-leaf work, Charities: The Law and Practice (Sweet & Maxwell) and of this he remains the General Editor.
