Workers, Establishment, and Services in the

This book examines the law relating to the free movement of persons and services. It offers a modern exposition of the law in the context of the convergence of the case law on goods, persons and services, and the emerging case law on the rights which flow from citizenship of the European Union.

Robin C. A. White is Professor of Law at the University of Leicester. He is a solicitor and sits as a Deputy Social Security Commissioner.
