POST FACTORTAME
Perhaps the two most important aspects of Factortame are (1) the creation of effective interim measures to protect the position during the period between the legislation coming into force and the courts deciding that the legislation contravenes European Law and (2) the availability of damages where the breach is manifest and grave.
There do not appear to have been any reported instances of courts making either interim protection or compensation orders since Factortame but it is rumoured that there have been claims which have settled out of court. Moreover the principles of Factortame have been used in the reasoning of a number of cases and will undoubtedly form the foundations of much development of European, and perhaps even English, law.
