ESE was involved in, and ultimately won, a dispute with the Italian state and with theItalian Ministry of Education. The case concerned the rights of a foreign educational institution to teach in Italy, with classes approved and monitored by an English university and leading to a degree awarded by that university, in accordance with the applicable UK laws. The Italian state argued that under the Italian laws, an English degree could not be recognised in Italy if it is awarded to an Italian citizen on completion of the course of study in Italy; whilst ESE argued that under the EUEuropean Union law the English degree had the same legal value as the Italian one.[26]
ESE sued the Italian state in theEuropean Court of Justice, and on 13 November 2003, the Court ruled in ESE's favour.[26]
