Stibbe successfully represented Van der Valk in a case concerning the retention of Coronavirus Support in the form of a TVL subsidy (Fixed Costs Allowance). The Ministry of Economic Affairs had sought to reclaim €375,000, but the Trade and Industry Appeals Tribunal (CBb) ruled in favour of Van der Valk. As a result, the government subsidy remains intact.

This decision highlights the importance of carefully assessing subsidy provisions, particularly when the timing of relevant facts and circumstances is crucial. The case was covered in the Financieele Dagblad, which published an article on the matter.
