The Foundations of European Community Law. Oxford University
Press, Seventh Edition, 2010
The Foundations of European Union Law
provides an impressively clear and easily understood account
of the constitutional and administrative law of the EU.
Hartley examines the institutions, the Union legal system
and the major constitutional issues before moving on to the
area of administrative law and remedies including the
workings of the European Court and the Court of First
Instance. The Treaty of Lisbon has brought about one of the
most important reforms of EU law since the early days of
European integration. In addition to significant
institutional changes, the Treaty creates a new legal
structure that will require lawyers and students of EU law
to think in different terms. This new edition has been
thoroughly revised to provide a clear and simple explanation
of the basic principles of EU law as they have been recast
by the Treaty of Lisbon. The important conceptual and
functional changes introduced by the treaty are explained,
showing how the new legal principles form a coherent system.

European Union Law in a Global Context. Cambridge University
Press, 2004.
European
Union Law in a Global Context is a comprehensive
introduction to European law in its international context.
Trevor Hartley provides an explanation of the basic
principles of each topic covered. He examines the
institutions of the EU and the law-making process; the
European Court and international adjudication; EU law (and
international law) in national courts; human rights,
especially under EU law and the ECHR; the international
relations of the EU; remedies under EU law; and the elements
of the free movement of goods, persons and services. The
coverage of the practical application of EU law in British
courts will meet the requirements of those intending to
become practitioners, and the inclusion of extracts from
leading cases, as well as from the EC treaties and other
instruments, ensures that everything the reader will need is
contained in a single volume.

Constitutional Problems of the European Union (Hart
Publishing, 1999).
This
book discusses some of the most important constitutional
problems of the European Union: the role of the European
Court and whether it is an objective interpreter of European
law; the unusual nature of Community law; the principles on
which the division of powers between the Union and Member
States is based; the problem of enforcement and the
different levels of compliance in different Member States;
and the question whether sovereignty has been transferred to
the EU. It is written for both specialist and non-specialist
lawyers,as well as for students of government, European
studies and international relations. To make it intelligible
on different levels, the text has been used to develop
general ideas, while the more specifically legal issues are
explored in footnotes. It is hoped that the book will be of
interest to all those who want to learn more about the basic
issues of the Community.

“Matrimonial (Marital) Property Rights
in Conflict of Laws: A Reconsideration” in James Fawcett (Ed.),
Reform and Development of Private International Law: Essays in
Honour of Sir Peter North (Oxford University Press, 2002), pp.
215–235
This
collection of essays by his friends and colleagues
honours Sir Peter North's remarkable career and
outstanding contribution to private international law.
It takes as its theme the reform and development of
private international law, reflecting the three
different levels at which the development and reform of
private international law takes place. Robin Morse
discusses the creeping codification of private
international law. Trevor Hartley draws attention to an
area of private international law, that relating to
matrimonial property, which is entirely judge-made.
Joost Blom shows how quickly the judges, in this case in
the Supreme Court of Canada, can develop private
international law once they set their mind to it. Sir
Lawrence Collins discusses the concept of comity in
modern private international law. Writers too have had
their part to play in the development of private
international law; this is the subject of the
contribution by Ole Lando. Kurt Siehr looks at the
impact of international instruments on national private
international law and the problems that this throws up.
