“The power conferred on the Sea Fish Industry Authority under the Fisheries Act 1981 to impose a levy in respect of sea fish and sea fish products landed in the United Kingdom extended to sea fish or parts of sea fish first brought to land outside the United Kingdom and only later imported into the United Kingdom. The levy so imposed, pursuant to the Sea Fish Industry Authority (Levy) Regulations 1995 Confirmatory Order 1996, constituted an internal tax under article 110FEU, not a charge having equivalent effect to customs duty contrary to articles 28FEU and 30FEU, and was accordingly lawful.”

Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe (BVG) v JP Morgan Chase Bank NA (Case C-144/10); [2011] WLR (D) 188
“The exclusive jurisdiction, conferred by article 22(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 44/2001, on the courts of the member state in which a company had its seat, was confined to proceedings whose principal subject matter comprised the validity of the constitution, the nullity or the dissolution of the company, or the validity of the decisions of its organs. It did not apply to proceedings in which such an issue arose merely as a collateral question, for example where a company, sued by a bank to enforce a swap contract, sought to plead that the contract had been entered into invalidly in breach of the company’s own statutes.”
