The MIB appealed against a determination that EU Directive 2009/103/EC relating to compulsory motor insurance had direct effect against the MIB as an emanation of the state, so that the MIB was liable to indemnify the respondent claimant (to whom I will refer as ‘the claimant’) in respect of the injury he suffered an incident with an uninsured driver. MIB had argued that the injury was not on a road or other public place.
Held: The appeal failed. Though a private body, the MIB had had delegated to it the duty placed on the state of complying with the European Directive.
