Regina v Secretary of State for Health and others, Ex Parte Imperial Tobacco Ltd and Co: QBD 16 Nov 1999

A European Directive which claimed to be one approximating laws, could still be a health measure, and it was therefore outside the scope of the European Parliament and Council to regulate the activity. The aim of the Directive was clear, even if mis-stated, and the imposition of regulations before a decision of the European Court would cause substantial economic harm.
