..it rather looks to me that the court found that AZ has/had used reasonable endeavours to date to meet its "commitments", albeit having failed (otherwise the court would surely have considered penalties for the performance to date), but also judged that those endeavours going forward (presumably from a now more stable base) should allow it to meet the court-prescribed deliveries (which are still less than the EU were seeking).
Whilst there is lack of absolute clarity about other matters (such as primacy of supply, use to date of the UK-manufactured base, etc) what I can glean indicates that the balance of any judgement on these has largely favoured AZ.
The EU have a second case "on the stocks" and a spokesman has said this will come under further consideration. If the assessment above is true, then quite a bit of wind will have been taken from its sails.
