Regie communale autonome du stade Luc Varenne v Etat Belge C-55/14, [2015] All ER (D) 218 (Jan)
The Court of Justice of the European Union gave a preliminary ruling, deciding that the making available of a stadium to a football club constituted a supply of services rather than a letting of immovable property within the meaning of Art 13B(b) of the Sixth Directive where, amongst other things, the owner permanently controlled the access to the sporting facilities and 80% of the charge payable represented services of management, maintenance and cleaning.
