Defendant: Samskip GmbH
Reference for a preliminary ruling — Landgericht Bremen — Interpretation of Articles 31 and 32 of Council Regulation (EC) No 44/2001 of 22 December 2000 on jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters (OJ 2001 L 12, p. 1) — Recognition of judgments issued in a Member State — Purely procedural judgment (‘Prozeßurteil’) — Judgment concerning the interpretation of a clause allocating jurisdiction, by which the national court declares that it lacks jurisdiction in holding that the court of a third State has jurisdiction — Extent of recognition
1.Article 32 of Council Regulation (EC) No 44/2001 of 22 December 2000 on jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters must be interpreted as meaning that it also covers a judgment by which the court of a Member State declines jurisdiction on the basis of a jurisdiction clause, irrespective of how that judgment is categorised under the law of another Member State.
2.Articles 32 and 33 of Regulation No 44/2001 must be interpreted as meaning that the court before which recognition is sought of a judgment by which a court of another Member State has declined jurisdiction on the basis of a jurisdiction clause is bound by the finding — made in the grounds of a judgment, which has since become final, declaring the action inadmissible — regarding the validity of that clause.
