Plaumann & Co v Commission


Plaumann & Co v Commission is an EU law case, concerning judicial review in the European Union.

Facts

Plaumann & Co imported clementines. The German authorities wished to suspend custom duties on imports, but the European Commission refused permission. Mr Plaumann sought judicial review of the Commission decision.

Judgment

The Court of Justice held that Plaumann & Co had no standing for judicial review of the Commission decision because the firm was not "individually concerned".
