Commission v Germany (2007) &lt;a href="http%3A//curia.europa.eu/juris/liste.jsf%3Fnum%3DC-112/05"&gt;C-112/05&lt;/a&gt; is an EU law case, relevant for UK enterprise law, concerning European company law. Following a trend in cases such as "Commission v United Kingdom", and "Commission v Netherlands", it struck down public oversight, through golden shares of Volkswagen by the German state of Lower Saxony. Soon afterwards, the management practices leading to the Volkswagen emissions scandal began.
