Poole and others v Her Majesty’s Treasury: ComC 8 Nov 2006

Names at Lloyds sought damages saying that the government’s failure to implement the Directive had caused them losses.
Held: The claim failed. The claimants did not themselves have a right to require a member state to take up and implement the directive. That role was for the European Community. The claimants were not those intended to benefit from the Directive, and the claims were statute barred in any event.
