Legal entities as accused in criminal trials: procedural safeguards under EU law

Edited by Silvia Allegrezza & Valentina Covolo, both of University of Luxembourg The harmonisation of the rights of defendants in EU criminal and quasi criminal proceedings has been long overlooked in legal research. Yet it forms the bedrock of the EU Criminal Justice Area. This collection addresses that imbalance by offering a thoughtful and compelling examination of the effective implementation of defendants’ rights. It looks particularly at the required consistency between the common standards of protection stemming from EU law, the ECHR and constitutional traditions. It goes on to explore how judicial dialogue between national and European Court impacts on the field.
