Paragraph 1 Claims before a court or tribunal relating to State aid infringement before IP completion day
In this paragraph, “State aid breach” means a breach or alleged breach of—
the prohibition in Article 107(1) of the TFEU; and
the obligation in Article 108(3) of the TFEU.
The cessation of the rights, powers, liabilities, obligations, restrictions, remedies and procedures provided for by regulation 4 and the revocations provided for by regulations 5, 6 and 7 do not affect the ability of any person on or after IP completion day—
to continue any existing claim (or defence to such a claim) in relation to a State aid breach which occurred before IP completion day in proceedings before a court or tribunal in the United Kingdom; or
to begin any new claim (or defence to such a claim) in relation to a State aid breach which occurred before IP completion day in proceedings before a court or tribunal in the United Kingdom which the person could have made before IP completion day.
If a person has acquired a right to begin proceedings from another person (whether by operation of law or otherwise), the reference in subparagraph (2)(b) to proceedings which a person could have made before IP completion day includes proceedings which that other person could have begun before IP completion day.
