Armstrong DLW GmbH v. Winnington Networks Ltd. País/Territorio Reino Unido Fecha Ene 1, 2012 Fuente UNEP, InforMEA Nombre del tribunal High Court of Justice Sede de la corte England and Wales Número de referencia [2012] EWHC 10 Resumen Under the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS), European Union Allowances (EUAs) are now classified as intangible property under English law. As a result of a fraudulent sale to Winnington of EUAs belonging to Armstrong, it was necessary to determine, among other things, their status under law. To determine the status of EUAs, the Court applied a three-part test identified in Re Celtic Extraction. In order for EUAs to be considered property, there must be statutory framework conferring an entitlement on their holder to an exemption from a fine, the “property” must be transferable under a statutory framework, and the “property” must have value. The Court classified EUAs as intangible property at common law, as they satisfy the three prongs of the test, and determined that since EUAs may be subject to restitutionary claims, Armstrong was entitled to a money judgment.Key environmental legal questions:Determine legal status of EU Allowances (EUAs) under English law Texto completo climatecasechart.com
