EU courts, Dan Hannan

New judgment, EU General Court: Hannan's outfit largely unsuccessful challenging European Parliament decision to repay over €500k in funds - curia.europa.eu/juris/document…
The political foundation won its argument relating to a conference in Kampala (worth €91k) and as regards restrictions on budget advances.

It lost as regards conferences in Miami and London, a survey, and donations from an Armenian party.

It has to pay 2/3 of its costs.
Either the political foundation and/or the EP can appeal this judgment to the CJEU.

More on the background to this case - and the outfit some called "Daniel Hannan's travel agency" - in a piece by @JenniferMerode when the dispute first arose: theguardian.com/politics/2018/…

There's no legal possibility of an extension to the transition period as such, without an amendment to the withdrawal agreement or something in a future relationship treaty.
When Cummings went on his Barnard Castle trip, Borisbots claimed that he had to be saved because only he could stop the UK agreeing to an extension to transition. This sounds like a rehash of that argument, although it's now legally weak as the extension deadline has passed.
And as Dom (no, not that one) points out, the reference to "Remainers" is gratuitous gibberish

EU criminal law and Ireland

Text of draft EU Council decision implementing Ireland's partial participation in Schengen rules from start of 2021: data.consilium.europa.eu/doc/document/S…

nb this means that Ireland will participate in criminal law aspects, NOT immigration aspects, of Schengen 1/
2/ This is very similar to the UK's partial participation in Schengen - which will finish at the end of the transition period, ie at the same moment when Irish partial participation *starts*.

I discussed the UK's partial participation here: eulawanalysis.blogspot.com/2015/02/bringi…
3/ The draft decision is on the agenda to be approved by Member States' representatives on Wednesday, and formally adopted shortly afterward.

It implements in practice the decision on Irish partial participation in Schengen adopted back in 2002: op.europa.eu/en/publication…
