Abstract

In order to check whether the jurisdictional rules in the Brussels I-bis Regulation should and could be used in a collective redress context, the goals of the Brussels Regulation are analysed. What is the aim of the Brussels Regulation with respect to jurisdiction and do these goals for example exclude the jurisdictional grounds in collective redress proceedings? These issues will be covered in this chapter.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Case C-125/92 Mulox v. Geels [1993], ECR I-4075, para 11. See also Pontier and Burg 2004, p. 93.

  2. 2.

    See Pontier and Burg 2004, p. 94. Since courts do not have to go into the substance of the matter in the case of a mass dispute, this sub-principle will not be covered here.

  3. 3.

    See Case C-241/83, Rösler v. Rottwinkel [1985], ECR 99, para 23. See also Case C-269/95 Benincasa v. Dentalkit [1997], ECR I-3767, para 28. See also Pontier and Burg 2004, pp. 95–97.

  4. 4.

    See Pontier and Burg 2004, p. 107.

  5. 5.

    See Pontier and Burg 2004, p. 107.

  6. 6.

    See Chap. 8, footnote 28.

  7. 7.

    Case C-220/84 Autoteile v. Malhé [1985], ECR I-2273, para 15. See also Pontier and Burg 2004, p. 56.

  8. 8.

    Since the sub-principles that belong to the principle of ‘party autonomy’ are directly related to two different grounds of jurisdiction, I will not cover them in relation to the other grounds of jurisdiction.

  9. 9.

    See Pontier and Burg 2004, p. 117.

  10. 10.

    Case C-295/95 Farrel v. Long [1997], ECR I-1683, para 19.

  11. 11.

    Practically, there a considerable number of important provisions that supersede the general provision as a ground of jurisdiction. This was set out in the introduction to Part II of this book.

  12. 12.

    For example, see Case C-89/91 Shearson v. TVB [1993], ECR I-139, para 18.

    See Pontier and Burg 2004, pp. 162 et seq.
