Abstract
The Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive (BRRD) created an EU legal framework for dealing with failing banks. This article examines the implications of a pivotal case that tested what constitutes an effective resolution matter. It argues there is a fine balance to be struck here. On the one hand giving automatic effect to any resolution measure would be dangerous for the common resolution framework. On the other hand, courts might be tempted to follow a restrictive interpretation of which resolution measures fall within the BRRD in order to safeguard their jurisdiction.
