Judgment_paragraph 45 · Luís Isidro Delgado Mendes v Crédito Agrícola Seguros - Companhia de Seguros de Ramos Reais, SA (C-503/16)

45As observed by the referring court and as correctly argued by the Commission, the fact that the owner of the vehicle concerned and insurance policy-holder was not within that vehicle at the time of the accident, but was a pedestrian who was knocked down by that vehicle cannot justify, having regard to the same objective of protection pursued by the First, Second and Third Directives, as described in paragraph 41 of the present judgment, a difference in treatment.
