Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Wedderburn of Charlton (Labour). It was answered by Lord Triesman (Labour) on Monday, 16 January 2006.
European Court of Justice
- Question
- What is their policy in regard to the jurisdiction and composition of the European Court of Justice, in light of the recent Marks and Spencer judgment.
- Answer
-
My Lords, the Government do not believe that the decision should give rise to any speculation about the jurisdiction or the composition of the European Court of Justice. The Government welcome the ECJ’s judgment in the Marks and Spencer case, which confirmed that our group loss relief rules are in principle compatible with European Community laws except in some exceptional and very limited circumstances. The Government will continue to vigorously defend challenges to our national tax laws brought before the ECJ.
