Questions referred
1. |
In cases in which a trader’s internet presence satisfies the ‘directing’ requirement, does Article 15(1)(c) of Regulation (EC) No 44/2001 (1) require, as a further unwritten condition, that the consumer was induced to enter into the contract by the website operated by the trader and consequently that the internet presence must be a causal factor in regard to the conclusion of the contract? |
2. |
In so far as a causal link between the ‘directing’ requirement and the conclusion of the contract is necessary: does Article 15(1)(c) of Regulation No 44/2001 also require that the contract was concluded as a distance contract? |
(1) Council Regulation (EC) No 44/2001 of 22 December 2000 on jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters (OJ 2001 L 12, p. 1).
