The court considered the statutory liability of an insurer to satisfy a judgment obtained against a driver who was not insured by the policy. UK domestic legislation gives the insurer a right of recovery against an insured person who caused or permitted the use of the vehicle. The Claimant argued that this right of recovery is incompatible with his rights as a road accident victim under various EC/EU.
