Football Association Premier League Ltd v Luxton [2016] EWCA Civ 1097, [2016] All ER (D) 79 (Nov)

The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal of a public house owner against a decision granting the claimant Football Association an injunction to prevent Al from broadcasting football matches in his public house using a domestic decoding card. The court held that his defences under Art 101 and/or Art 56 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union were not made out on the basis of insufficient connection between enforcement of a legal right and the alleged anti-competitive activity.
