1.Where “force majeure” is not found as a defence in a Directive or implementing Regulations in issue, is such a defence nonetheless available as a defence to a Francovich damages claim for a breach of an EU law obligation that confers rights on individuals which derive from the fundamental right to human dignity contained in Article 1 of the Charter (whether as a defence within the second limb of the Brasserie du Pêcheur/Factortame test or otherwise)?
2.If the answer to question (1) is “yes”, what are the parameters and proper scope of that force majeure defence?
