Operative part of the order
Article 7(5) of Regulation (EU) No 1215/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 December 2012 on jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters must be interpreted as meaning that:
a dispute concerning an action seeking the annulment of timeshare agreements for the use of immovable property and the restitution of sums unduly paid under those agreements cannot be considered to be a ‘dispute arising out of the operations of a branch, agency or other establishment’ within the meaning of that provision, since none of those agreements was concluded by the consumer concerned with the branch of the contracting company to which the action relates and located within the jurisdiction of the court seised, and there is no other evidence to establish the involvement of that branch in the legal relationship between that consumer and that company.
