Language of the case: Polish
Applicants: AR, BF, ZN, NK Sp. z o.o. s.k., KP, RD Sp. z o.o.
Defendants: PK S.A., CR, SI S.A., MB S.A., PK S.A., SI S.A., EZ S.A.
Article 18 of Directive 2009/103/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 September 2009 relating to insurance against civil liability in respect of the use of motor vehicles, and the enforcement of the obligation to insure against such liability, read in conjunction with Article 3 of that directive,
must be interpreted as
—not precluding national legislation which, in the event of a direct action, by the person whose vehicle has suffered damage as a result of a road traffic accident, against the insurer of the person responsible for that accident, provides that the sole means of obtaining redress from that insurer is by way of monetary compensation,
—precluding rules for the calculation of that compensation and conditions relating to its payment, in so far as they would have the effect, in the context of a direct action brought under Article 18, of excluding or limiting the insurer’s obligation, under Article 3, to cover all the compensation which the person responsible for the damage must provide to the injured party in respect of the damage suffered by that party.
