	LIST OF CASES / Factortame Ltd v Sec'y of State for Transport ECJ 1989-91
		Factortame Ltd and the others applied to the Divisional Court in London for judicial review and a declaration that the new registration of fishing regulations should not apply to them on the grounds that this would be a breach of the Treaty of Rome (arts 7, 52, 58 and 221 were quoted).
		The importance of Factortame is thus that it shows that if the British parliament passes a new law which arguably conflicts with European law, the national courts have power in some circumstances to grant a temporary injunction to prevent the UK authorities from enforcing that UK law while the matter is being sorted out.
		Factortame shows that the UK courts have power to grant such an injunction and sweeps away the traditional rule to the contrary.

	[1996] 4 Web JCLI
		In the light of the ECJ's case law regarding this provision, the basic criterion for liability for breach of EC law in situations where the public authority has discretion, should be the notion of manifest and serious breach.
		This will definitely be the case if the Court follows its case law on the meaning of ‘State’ for the purpose of direct effect - municipalities (3) and public undertakings (4) have there been held to be emanations of the State.
		This is not in keeping with the case law on liability of the EC where it is sufficient that the rule breached is intended to protect individual interests.

	THE COMMON LAW COURTS AS EC COURTS
		These cases all preserve Parliamentary intention and thus are prepared to give effect to the words and objectives of directives only to the extent that a statute is ambiguous either on its face or in light of its legislative history.
		The Factortame case and the more recent EOC case show the willingness of the English courts to assume their EC mantle and their ability to use the preliminary reference procedure as a devise to overcome difficult conflicts between national and EC law.
		This was the right in issue in the case and as it had been conceded that EC law did not extend to it, EC law was not relevant to the outcome of the case.

	Important Judgments Delivered by the Court of Justice of the European Communities During the Period
		Factortame III was part of the ongoing affair concerning British law which laid down certain conditions relating to nationality and domicile which had to be fulfilled before a boat could be registered in Britain.
		In reply to the first issue, the Court reiterated previous case law in which it had emphasized that the decisive criterion for establishing whether or not a transfer had taken place in the meaning of the directive was whether or not the body in question had retained its economic identity.
		In the case, the Court considered that a transfer had taken place within the meaning of the directive, despite the fact that there had been no transfer of tangible assets, the structure and organization of the undertaking had not been preserved and the transferor had definitively ceased trading and gone into liquidation.

	Kobler (Free movement of persons) [2003] EUECJ C-224/01 (30 September 2003)
		In the present case the Verwaltungsgerichtshof held in its judgment of 24 June 1998 that the special length-of-service increment provided for in Article 50a of the GG rewards an employee's loyalty to a single employer.
		None the less, in the present case the Court has available to it all the materials enabling it to establish whether the conditions necessary for liability of the Member State to be incurred are fulfilled.
		In those circumstances and in the light of the circumstances of the case, the infringement found at paragraph 119 hereof cannot be regarded as being manifest in nature and thus as sufficiently serious.

		In all cases, the enforcement of any act which is being challenged may be provisionally suspended and, as the case may be, any necessary interim measures can be ordered pursuant to Articles 242 and 243 of the Treaty until a judgment is rendered on its merits.
		In Factortame, the model case for the approach of the first type of situation, several persons engaged in fishing activities resulted affected by requirements as regards nationality, residence and domicile, in the framework of a new system of registration of fishing vessels in the United Kingdom.
		In general terms, Factortame appears to confirm by omission the principle of national procedural autonomy in the field of interim measures granted by national courts, where national law is alleged to be contrary to Community law.

		In many cases the way the discretion is exercised will depend on whether it appears that the other parties have suffered prejudice as a consequence of the error, but the rule gives the court the widest possible discretion and the court can look at all the circumstances.
		On the particular facts of that case an interim order was granted which had the effect of staying the operation of the domestic law pending a determination of its validity under the European Treaty.
		In the Factortame case, unlike this one, all the relevant facts were ascertained and the only unresolved issues were issues of law.

		Admittedly, in the case of the public authorities, precisely because of the nature of the activity which they perform and of the consequences which would ensue were there held to be liability and an obligation to compensate generally, the tendency has invariably been to limit the scope of liability in various ways.
		On the contrary, in cases of infringement of provisions having direct effect, the protection already exists and a remedy may be asserted directly by the individual, with the result that it is necessary only to accompany it by that something less, which is financial protection.
		The upshot is that in such cases the limits set to the action of the States are not clearly defined for that very reason, with the result that the situation is not very different substantively from that in which the States have a significant margin of discretion.

	The Queen v Secretary of State for Transport, ex parte: Factortame Ltd and others. (Community law) [1990] EUECJ ...
		It follows that a court which in those circumstances would grant interim relief, if it were not for a rule of national law, is obliged to set aside that rule.
		In its judgment it found in the first place that the claims by the appellants in the main proceedings that they would suffer irreparable damage if the interim relief which they sought were not granted and they were successful in the main proceedings were well founded.
		Community law must be interpreted as meaning that a national court which, in a case before it concerning Community law, considers that the sole obstacle which precludes it from granting interim relief is a rule of national law must set aside that rule.

		In the Simmenthal case, notably, the principle of the effectiveness of judicial protection ceased to be a mere obiter dictum and began to bite.
		In fact, in the present case, the ascertainability of the content of rights conferred by the 80/987 directive was already established; the direct effect of its rules had been excluded only because the subject, and not the object, of the corresponding duty was not clearly identified in the provisions of the directive.
		In the case of directives and decisions which have not yet been implemented by the Member States, as was the case in Francovich, it is suggested that one could apply the rules which have been elaborated by the Court of Justice on the question of the limits of the direct effects of such provision.

		The two cases can certainly be reconciled with each other and with previous authority: local authority educational psychologists are the authority's agents in the process of "deciding whether a service should be provided" in particular cases, whereas teachers are actually "providing a service".
