Publications: "Defence Rights during Administrative Investigations" 

This book contains a comparative studt into defence rights during administrative investigations in the context of administrative law. This book concentrates on the work of the European Anti-Fraud Office, OLAF, which ordered this study.Since administrative law is about decision-making, defence rights are not the primary focus of administrative lawyers. They direct their attention to the rules and principles that guide the decision-making process of administrative offices and the legal protection against such legal acts. Defence rights are present  in the administrative law enforcement context, but their form often differs from that of criminal law enforcement. This study contains an inventory of these defence rights in Switzerland and 6 EU Memeber States: England & Wales,Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Romania and Sweden.
