(Case C-218/12) (<span class="super">1</span>)
(Regulation (EC) No 44/2001 - Article 15(1)(c) - Jurisdiction over consumer contracts - Whether jurisdiction limited to distance contracts - Causal link between the commercial or professional activity directed to the Member State of the consumer’s domicile via an Internet site and the conclusion of the contract)
2013/C 367/23
Language of the case: German
Applicant: Lokman Emrek
Defendant: Vlado Sabranovic
Request for a preliminary ruling — Landgericht Saarbrücken — Interpretation of Article 15(1)(c) 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) — Jurisdiction over consumer contracts — Situation in which a trader operates an internet site ‘directed’ towards the Member State in which the consumer is resident — Need for a causal link between that activity and the conclusion of the contract by the consumer — Possible restriction of jurisdiction over consumer contracts to contracts which have been concluded at a distance
Article 15(1)(c) 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 that it does not require the existence of a causal link between the means employed to direct the commercial or professional activity to the Member State of the consumer’s domicile. However, the existence of such a causal link constitutes evidence of the connection between the contract and such activity.
