dispute arose in the context of the UKSC’s decision in Micula v Romania, which authorised the enforcement of an arbitral award made under the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) (Case Ioan Micula, Viorel Micula and Others v Romania). By that arbitral award, Romania was ordered to pay Swedish investors compensation of approximately €178 million on account of the early repeal of a regional investment aid scheme.

Case C-673/20 EP v Préfet du Gers:
brexit cases - citizen status
= the Court of Justice of the European Union held that UK nationals have lost their EU citizenship as a result of Brexit.
Consequently, individuals resident in Member States can no longer vote nor stand as a candidate in municipal elections. EP asserted that she no longer enjoyed the rights in the EU (the Member State of residence) nor in the UK due to the British ‘15-year rule’ of nationals who have lived outside of the UK for more than 15 years being no longer entitled to take part in elections in the UK.
