Reference for a preliminary ruling — Cour de cassation (France) — Interpretation of Articles 9 and 13 of Council Directive 85/374/EEC of 25 July 1985 on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States concerning liability for defective products (OJ 1985 L 210, p. 29) — Material scope of application of the directive — Lawfulness of a national system of liability permitting compensation to be obtained for damage to an item of property intended for professional use and employed for that purpose — Damage to a hospital generator due to the fact that an alternator overheated.
Council Directive 85/374/EEC of 25 July 1985 on the approximation of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States concerning liability for defective products must be interpreted to mean that it does not preclude the interpretation of domestic law or the application of settled domestic case-law according to which an injured person can seek compensation for damage to an item of property intended for professional use and employed for that purpose, where that injured person simply proves the damage, the defect in the product and the causal link between that defect and the damage.
