- Incorrect Failure to Refer by Court of Mandatory Jurisdiction (Article 267 TFEU Procedure)
- Technically possible for State to be sued for its final instance court's failure to make Article 267 TFEU reference
- Kobler v Austria (case C-224/01) [2003] ECR I-10239
- State sued for failing to make reference
- Kobler sued Austria relying on principle of State liability
- Claimed Austrian court had been obliged to make reference - as court of mandatory jurisdiction - but failed to do so, causing him to lose case.
- On Article 267 reference, ECJ indicated Austria's breach of EU Law had not in case been 'sufficiently serious'
- But agreed claims of this kind could be made
