- The Dutch Supreme Court held that Stichting X is not so legally intertwined with the disciplinary courts that it cannot be seen as acting independently in its economic activity.
- X’s organization and support services for the lawyers’ disciplinary system are taxable for VAT, and the annual subsidy from the Dutch Bar Association counts as payment for those services.
- Having only one customer does not prevent X from being active in the market or from supplying taxable services.
- X’s appeal was rejected.
- Because the case took too long, X was awarded €1,500 in non-material damages.
