The members of the Jury for the 1984 Prince of Asturias Award for Social Sciences, Álvaro Cuervo García, Enrique Fuentes Quintana, Manuel García Pelayo, Antonio Hernández Gil, Juan Rof Carballo, Luis Ángel Rojo Duque, Joaquín Ruiz-Giménez, Julio Segura Sánchez, Enrique Tierno Galván and Rodrigo Uría González, gathered in Oviedo on the 21st and 22nd of June, 1984, under the presidency of José María Aguirre Gonzalo and with José Ignacio García Lomas acting as secretary, have decided by majority to grant this award to Eduardo García de Enterría y Martínez-Carande, as they deem him to be a lecturer and jurist of recognised prestige in Spain and abroad who, on the basis of a wide knowledge of the Continental and Anglo-Saxon legal systems, has performed important research and teaching work, reflected in highly valuable publications and accepted as methodological guidance by a school of disciples and intellectual heirs, with a marked influence upon the scientific renewal of Administrative Law and upon the focus of other sectors of Public Law, having been able to reconcile, to this end, the rigour of theoretical formulation with the practical aspect of problems.
