Show moreThe case note addresses three judgments the Grand Chamber of the Court of Justice of the EU handed down on the same day, all relating to Italian prejudicial questions concerning the principle of ne bis in idem. These are the first cases addressing questions of 'bis' and the duplication of criminal and administrative sanctions for financial offences since the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights revised its case-law in A and B v.
