Edited by Chiara Zilioli, General Counsel of the European Central Bank and Professor of Law, J.W. Goethe University Frankfurt, Germany and Karl-Philipp Wojcik, General Counsel of the EU Single Resolution Board and Lecturer of Law, Law Faculty, University of Bonn, Germany

‘With this edited volume, Zilioli and Wojcik, two esteemed experts in the area, present a very comprehensive, but tightly focused analysis of judicial and pre-judicial review mechanisms in the EU for the financial sector. By assembling a very useful set of tools for everyone involved in this field, the volume provides an essential support for further developing the new branch of litigation as a part of supranational administrative law.’
