On 16 April, the Court of Justice of the European Union delivered its judgment in Case C-229/24, Brännelius. The case concerns the question of what is required for information to be considered ‘made public’ under Article 7(1)(a) of the Market Abuse Regulation (MAR), and thus not to constitute inside information. The Court’s conclusion came as a surprise, but its significance should not be overstated. The judgment can be interpreted from two perspectives, one of which is that it should be read and interpreted in the light of the specific circumstances of the case in question.
SCGI Director Professor Erik Lidman, PhD Candidate Jesper Zackrisson and Professor Jesper Lau Hansen (University of Copenhagen) have written a commentary on the case and its interpretation. The commentary has been published on the Oxford Business Law Blog (OBLB).
