((Reference for a preliminary ruling - Consumer protection - Unfair commercial practices - Directive 2005/29/EC - Articles 5 and 7 - Combined offer - Sale of a computer equipped with pre-installed software - Material information relating to the price - Misleading omission - Consumer unable to obtain the same model of computer not equipped with software))

Language of the case: French

Referring court

Parties to the main proceedings

Applicant: Vincent Deroo-Blanquart

Defendant: Sony Europe Limited, successor in law to Sony France SA

Operative part of the judgment

1.A commercial practice consisting of the sale of a computer equipped with pre-installed software without any option for the consumer to purchase the same model of computer not equipped with pre-installed software does not in itself constitute an unfair commercial practice within the meaning of Article 5(2) of Directive 2005/29/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 May 2005 concerning unfair business-to-consumer commercial practices in the internal market and amending Council Directive 84/450/EEC, Directives 97/7/EC, 98/27/EC and 2002/65/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Regulation (EC) No 2006/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council (‘Unfair Commercial Practices Directive’), unless such a practice is contrary to the requirements of professional diligence and materially distorts or is likely to materially distort the economic behaviour of the average consumer with regard to the product, a matter which is for the national court to determine by taking account of the specific circumstances of the case in the main proceedings.

2.In the context of a combined offer consisting of the sale of a computer equipped with pre-installed software, the failure to indicate the price of each of those items of pre-installed software does not constitute a misleading commercial practice within the meaning of Article 5(4)(a) and Article 7 of Directive 2005/29.
