Benefits

EU Tax Cases Tracker is a vital monitoring and analysis tool for the practising tax professional, lawyer and information manager, providing inside knowledge of the impact of key EU tax cases in the member states, and providing a unique solution to everyone working in the field of European tax. It gives you confidence that you are obtaining the most up-to-date and accurate information on developments because our team of expert European tax consultants, practising in the key EU jurisdictions, are monitoring and analysing developments in all important EU tax cases. The product also alerts customers to changes in a case status as and when they happen. Drawing upon the authority of recognised experts in the field, this is the most up-to-date and interactive European tax case service on the market. All the information you need is available and updated daily.

In summary, this service will aim to do the following:

Early identification of cases that are likely to be referred, or which have been referred, to the ECJ, and identifying the issues these cases raise.
Tracking those cases once they are with the Registry at the ECJ: for example, tracking the various written stages in the procedure, and any decisions taken with regard to the disposition of the case.
Thirdly, tracking when the Opinion and the Judgment are published.
Fourthly, tracking what happens to a case once it goes back to the national court (in the case of a reference for a preliminary ruling), or in terms of national legislation (in infringement proceedings, for example). For example, it has been particularly difficult to keep up with what has happened to the Marks & Spencer case in the UK, or the Cadbury Schweppes case, after it returned to the national courts.
Finally, identifying the cases that are not being referred to the ECJ: for example, what cases have been decided where the national court considered that the issue was acte claire so that it was not necessary to make a reference.
