Judgment_paragraph 33 · Littlewoods Retail Ltd and Others v Her Majesty’s Commissioners of Revenue and Customs (C-591/10)

33As is apparent from consistent case-law, when faced with a rule of law that is incompatible with directly applicable EU law, the national court is required to disapply that national rule, it being understood that that obligation does not restrict the power of the competent national courts to apply, amongst the various procedures of the internal legal order, those which are appropriate to safeguard the individual rights conferred by EU law (see in particular, to that effect, Case C-337/91 van Gemert-Derks [1993] ECR I-5435, paragraph 33; Joined Cases C-10/97 to C-22/97 IN. CO. GE. 90 and Others [1998] ECR I-6307, paragraph 21; and Case C-314/08 Filipiak [2009] ECR I-11049, paragraph 83).
