    On EU law the Court found that PhonepayPlus’ actions were unlawful under Article 3 of the E-Commerce Directive, in particular because the measures were disproportionate. This was, in the Judge’s view, a sufficiently serious breach of EU law to satisfy the Francovich test for the award of damages. This was the case, in particular, because: (i) the PhonepayPlus Executive was aware of the Directive but did not inform the Panel or the Tribunal of its existence and relevance, as a result of which the Claimants were treated as if they were UK businesses; (ii) disproportionate restrictions were imposed, and (iii) PhonepayPlus’ communication with the European Commission contained material inaccuracies and omissions.
    The Judge therefore allowed the claim, quashing the decisions, ordering repayment of penalties and charges with interest, awarding the Claimants’ their costs of the proceedings, and transferring the claim to the Queen’s Bench Division for issues of causation and quantification of damages to be determined. The Judge refused PhonepayPlus permission to appeal to the Court of Appeal..
