Other

On March 17 (Saint Patrick’s Day!), the CJEU handed down its first decision, in which Irish was the language of proceedings. C-64/20 UH v An tAire Talmhaíochta Bia agus Mara, Éire and An tArd-Aighne concerned the role that a Member State’s court has in case this Member State fails to transpose a Directive into national law. The Court of Justice held that a Member State’s court shall make a declaration that that Member State has not correctly transposed the Directive and is required to take remedial steps in that regard.

No comments:

All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.

It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
