The CJEU this morning has entirely and in succinct fashion confirmed the Opinion of Emiliou AG which I discuss here.
[30] that the contract between the parties, both domiciled in the same Member State, is meant to be performed either in another Member State or a third State, by its nature triggers the question which court might have jurisdiction (reference to CJEU Inkreal) and sufficiently qualifies as the international element required to trigger Brussels Ia. Like the AG, the CJEU also refers to the use of the wording in A18(1) ‘regardless of the domicile of the other party’ to corroborate that finding.
[35]-[36] the Court like the AG also warns against a symmetric application of non-BIa authority to Brussels at least one that is assumed too readily.
Confirmation of the consumer title assigning not just national but territorial jurisdiction is backed up ia by reference to CJEU Allianz (on the insurance title).
After the solid AG Opinion, an equally solid judgment.
Geert.

CUHK LAW will host an international conference on private international law from August 1, 2024, to August 2, 2024.
Theme
The theme of the conference is “Rethinking Jurisdiction in Private International Law.” Jurisdiction is a broad concept in private international law that includes legislative, judicial, and enforcement aspects. Over the past few years, there have been significant developments in the area of jurisdiction across various countries. These developments, while rooted in national law, have extensive cross-border impacts. Additionally, the HCCH Jurisdiction Project has engaged many countries in focusing on jurisdictional issues and seeking to harmonize jurisdictional conflicts. This conference offers a forum for academics and practitioners to rethink and exchange ideas on the evolving new features of “jurisdiction” in the context of private international law.
This conference is supported by Hitotsubashi University.
