Keidi Kõiv writes in Maaleht about the most important Supreme Court decisions of 2020 in disputes with ARIB

Keidi Kõiv, a specialist in the field of constitutional at RASK, wrote an article for Maaleht that provides a very good and useful overview of the most important decisions of the Supreme Court in a dispute with the ARIB that entered into force in 2020.

„The year 2020 was quite extraordinary in terms of support disputes. While in the past litigation related to the ARIB has traditionally ended with the predominance of the ARIB, the last 12 months have significantly changed this trend. During the year, several significant decisions of the Supreme Court entered into force, which provide both the ARIB and the applicants with new knowledge and specified operating instructions for the future,” Keidi discusses in the introduction to the article.

If specific decisions are generalized more broadly, three very important principles follow from the decisions of the Supreme Court of the last year, which is useful for applicants to keep in mind: 1) the activities of the ARIB must be based on and in accordance with EU law; 2) the decisions of the ARIB must be comprehensible, substantiated, proportionate, based on the correct norms of authorization and ensure equal opportunities for all participants in applying for support; 3) no administrative body in Estonia, including the ARIB, is infallible in its decisions. In her article, Keidi also gives a more detailed overview of the most important decisions of the Supreme Court separately.
