In a reference from the English High Court for a preliminary ruling, the European Court of Justice held in Uniplex (UK) Ltd v NHS Business Services Authority (C 406/08) that the EC Directive 89/665 (on co-ordination of laws, etc, relating to the application of review procedures to the award of public supply and public works contracts) required the period for bringing public procurement infringement proceedings to begin on the date on which the claimant knew, or ought to have known, of the alleged infringement – and not on the date of the alleged infringement. The Court held that Article 1(1) of the Directive requires Member States to guarantee that unlawful decisions can be subjected to effective review and that this could only be done if the period laid down for bringing infringement proceedings started to run from the date on which the claimant knew, or ought to have known, of the alleged infringement. Whilst acknowledging that Member States had the power to set the period within which infringement proceedings could be brought, the Court held that a limitation period, the duration of which is placed at the discretion of the competent court, is not predictable in its effects and is, therefore, contrary to the EU principle of legal certainty. Ana Stanic was involved in this case. This case is expected to have implications for all EU law judicial review cases as well as procurement cases.
