Hugh Mercer QC and Andrew Legg in judicial review judgment that considers the role of domestic courts and the CJEU

Hugh Mercer QC and Andrew Legg represented the claimants in their long-running claim for judicial review that a moratorium on the production of desinewed meat introduced by the Food Standards Agency in April 2012 was unlawful. The judgment found that the moratorium was partially unlawful and it considered the boundary between the competence of national courts over factual issues and the competence of the Court of Justice of the European Union over issues of EU law.

Hugh and Andrew were instructed by Tim Russ of Roythornes Solicitors. The decision is available here .
