I love Lord Hoffman's speech in West Tankers re anti-suit injunctions where he railed against principles of comity with European courts and basically which meant that litigants could get Italian torpedoed.
I liked the one that said that wine with added pepper and salt was still wine for excise purposes. A realistic approach to what people will do to avoid tax.
Who are you oddballs with talk of ‘favourite cases’?
Cases are very much to be avoided by a gentleman and if any degree of acquaintance with one is absolutely required then this should be dealt with by means of the shortest possible briefing note prepared by a trainee.

Also, the current Opinion by Ad-Gen Hogan which says that 'a place' means something bigger than a breadbox but smaller than a country.

mmm Yes I love Factortame too, when our fishing industry was finally killed off and fish stocks were forever ruined by EU trawlers.

Not at all. As a legal case it's important and powerful.
The effects were just very sad.

Cassis de Dijon. It makes a decent mixer or nip from a hip flask. No idea about the legal bits

Do you reckon that's pronounced Van Chhhend en Looks?
The pronunciation is one of the worst things about EU law.
Is it Hummblott or Oomblow?

Wang can you get your trainee to proofread your posts, they’re getting harder to understand the more arthritic your fingers become.

They might be short but they are so dry as to be almost unreadable. You have to read the press summary to figure out wtf they are on about.

Mcvities was a lowly vat tribunal case
I toyed with allowing it since vat is an EU creation but no
