Referring court

Parties to the main proceedings

Appellants: Real Madrid Club de Fútbol, AE

Respondents: EE, Société Éditrice du Monde SA

Operative part of the judgment

Article 34(1) and Article 45 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, read in conjunction with Article 11 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union,

must be interpreted as meaning that the enforcement of a judgment ordering a newspaper publishing house and one of its journalists to pay damages by way of compensation for the non-material damage suffered by a sports club and one of the members of its medical team due to harm caused to their reputation by the publication of information about them must be refused where it would give rise to a manifest breach of the freedom of the press, as enshrined in Article 11 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights, and thus an infringement of public policy in the Member State in which enforcement is sought.
