Description

What social security rights are there for illegal workersbr To what extent can health care services be refused by the beneficiary, and to what extent can coverage of health care services be refused by social security bodiesbr br This casebook is composed of two main parts. The first gives an overview of the ways related cases were decided by national courts in a number of European countries. In the second part the reader finds the crucial parts of the court decisions in about sixty cases. The decisions are published in their original language with a summary in English.br br This book is useful both for further research and education. It should allow for the development of a theory concerning judge-made social security law and for the discovery of the specificity of legal reasoning by social security judges.

Moreover, not only law students, but also trainees of the judiciary and novice social security judges will benefit from this casebook.br br Prof. dr.
