New Nicotine Alliance goes to the High Court to challenge the ban on snus
The NNA is going to the High Court on 26th January to ask for permission to act as an independent intervenor in the Swedish Match application to challenge the ban on snus. The case is brought against the UK implementing law, Regulation 17 of the Tobacco and Related Products Regulations, which bans snus. UK law implements the EU law (TPD) so if the court decides there is a case it then goes to the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU).
NNA is asking the Court to be allowed to make its own submission in order to provide a consumer perspective on the ban and of the benefits that will follow if the ban is lifted.
There’s a lot more detail in NNA’s blog post, here:
