The court was asked: ‘first, whether, in the case of a worldwide freezing order obtained in a foreign jurisdiction, the effect of obtaining an order under Article 38 of the Judgments Regulation (Council Regulation (EC) No. 44/2001 of 22 December 2000) (the ‘Judgments Regulation’) permitting the registration of the worldwide freezing order as a judgment of the Queen’s Bench Division of the High Court of Justice of England and Wales is that the worldwide freezing order becomes immediately effective and fully enforceable or whether it only becomes effective and fully enforceable if there is no appeal brought in respect of the registration order within two months of its being made or, if there is an appeal in that time period, on determination of that appeal; and secondly, whether ‘measures of enforcement’ (as referred to in Article 47.3 of the Judgments Regulation) includes service of the worldwide freezing order on, and/or notification of its terms to, third parties or whether ‘measures of enforcement’ are confined to processes in which the Court is involved in securing enforcement.’

Prudential Assurance Company Ltd v Revenue and Customs: SC 25 Jul 2018

PAC sought to recover excess advance corporation tax paid under a UK system contrary to EU law. It was now agreed that some was repayable but now the quantum. Five issues separated the parties.
Issue I: does EU law require the tax credit to be set by reference to the overseas tax actually paid, as HMRC submit, or by reference to the foreign nominal tax rate (‘FNR’), as PAC submits?
Held: HMRC Appeal dismissed: credit for foreign dividends should be by reference to the FNR, rather than by reference to the actual or effective tax incurred overseas.
Issue II: Was compound interest payable on tax levied in breach of EU law, on the basis that HMRC were unjustly enriched by the opportunity to use the money in question?
Held: HMRC’s appeal Allowed. Sempra Metals Ltd v IRC failed to allow for several features, and there were later inconsistent developments and cases.
Issue III: does a claim in restitution lie to recover lawful ACT which was set against unlawful mainstream corporation tax?
Held: No. HMRC’s appeal was allowed. Setting the unlawful MCT against the lawful ACT was not enough to qualify as a ‘San Giorgio’ claim.
Following Issue I, Issue IV did not arise.
Issue V(a): where ACT from a pool including unlawful and lawful ACT is set against an unlawful MCT liability, is the unlawful ACT regarded as a pre-payment of the unlawful MCT liability or is the ACT so utilised regarded as partly lawful and unlawful pro rata?
Held: PAC’s cross-appeal was allowed. . Unlawful ACT is set first against unlawful MCT. Because unlawful MCT is a nullity, the unlawful ACT is recoverable unless it has been set against a lawful MCT charge.
Issue V(b): Is domestic FII when carried back to an earlier quarter, to be treated as having been applied to relieve the lawful and unlawful ACT pro rata, or only lawful ACT?
Held: PAC’s cross-appeal allowed. Domestic FII carried back to an earlier quarter is to be applied to relieve only lawful ACT. HMRC’s pro rata approach would deprive a company of the tax credit at the FNR required under EU law.

Commission v NTN Corporation and Koyo Seiko: ECJ 14 Feb 1996

ECJ 1. Under Article 37 of the Statute of the Court of Justice, any person establishing an interest in the result of a case submitted to the Court may intervene in that case before the Court, and submissions made in an application for leave to intervene must be limited to supporting the submissions of one of the parties.
Leave to intervene in a dispute concerning the validity of a regulation imposing an anti-dumping duty must be granted to an undertaking on which a specific anti-dumping duty has been imposed, since that undertaking is individually and directly concerned by the contested regulation and has in that regard an independent right of action under the fourth paragraph of Article 173 of the Treaty. However, in so far as that undertaking did not bring an action for annulment against that regulation, its rights as intervener must be confined to supporting the forms of order sought by the party on whose side it seeks to intervene.
Undertakings which import the product and in that connection have to pay a specific anti-dumping duty can also demonstrate a direct and present interest in the result of the case.
2. Under indent (f) of the second subparagraph of Article 93(1) of the Rules of Procedure of the Court of Justice, every application for leave to intervene must contain a statement of the reasons establishing the intervener’ s right to intervene.
An undertaking which has not established on what grounds it had to or has to pay the above duty has not demonstrated, within the meaning of the second paragraph of Article 37 of the Statute of the Court of Justice, a direct and present interest in the result of a case concerning the validity of a regulation imposing an anti-dumping duty.
