80/86 Kolpinghuis [1987] ECR 3969
Judgement for the case 80/86 Kolpinghuis
Table Of Contents
The principle of indirect (horizontal) effect could not be applied by a member state to support the retroactive prosecution of a Dutch firm for stocking adulterated mineral water which was in breach of a Community directive.
