And we continue with the ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐๐ถ๐ด๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ with a new result. This time Spain has scored a goal in its favour, in this case from the Court of Justice of the European Union, which -as some had already expected- has ruled against ๐๐ ๐๐ผ๐น๐น๐ถ๐ป๐ and considers that a previous ๐๐ป๐ด๐น๐ถ๐๐ต ๐ท๐๐ฑ๐ด๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐ confirming ๐ฎ๐ป ๐๐ป๐ด๐น๐ถ๐๐ต ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฏ๐ถ๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐ฎ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฑ cannot oppose a subsequent ๐ท๐๐ฑ๐ด๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฆ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ป๐ถ๐๐ต ๐ฆ๐๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ๐ seeking its enforcement in England and Wales.
But extreme caution is required because the decision to refer this issue to the CJEU was made by the ๐๐ป๐ด๐น๐ถ๐๐ต ๐๐ถ๐ด๐ต ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ๐, which was appealed by the insurers’ club, obtaining a favourable ruling before the ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ๐ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ฝ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น, which indicated that it was an issue improperly referred to the CJEU and that the English judge should have resolved it. This matter is now appealed before the ๐จ๐ ๐ฆ๐๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ๐ to consider whether it was correct.
As we have said on other occasions, ๐บ๐๐ฐ๐ต ๐ด๐ฎ๐บ๐ฒ ๐ถ๐ ๐๐๐ถ๐น๐น ๐๐ผ ๐ฏ๐ฒ ๐ฝ๐น๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ฑ. And it is being played in England.
