Definition
  • Company of Spanish fisherman and shipowners who claimed that the United Kingdom had breached European Union law by requiring ships to have a majority of British owners, if they wished to be registered in the UK. Judgement was found in Factortame's favour and changed the position of national legislation where it conflicts with EU law.
