+Added: Micro Focus, along with the UK government and certain other UK-based international companies, appealed the decision to the General Court of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU).
+Added: The CJEU’s judgment was handed down on September 19, 2024.
+Added: The CJEU broadly followed the CJEU Advocate General’s opinion, setting aside the judgment of the General Court and annulling the Commission’s ruling.

+Added: The timing of the refund is uncertain as the UK Government must pass legislation by way of regulations to facilitate the refund, but it is reasonably expected to be received within the next twelve months.
+Added: Given the expected timing of the refund, the income tax recoverable has been reclassified to short term and recognized as part of current assets as of September 30, 2024.
