In this article we examine a recent landmark case where the
European Court of Justice recognized that if a creditor challenges
a national banking resolution process on the grounds that it has
suffered damage, it should also have legal standing to bring a case
against the relevant State aid decision as these processes are
inextricably linked.
This may now provide a plausible route for creditors to attack
State aid approvals of bank resolution, something that has been
very difficult to date — despite the extraordinary damage
that such decisions do to creditors.

Sterling's 2019 Antitrust Annual Report, "The European
Courts Recognize Creditors' Interests in State Aid
Decisions."
