Judgment_paragraph 29 · RH v AB Volvo and Others (C-30/20)

29That is the case of, first, Article 5(3) of Regulation No 44/2001 and, secondly, Article 7(2) of Regulation No 1215/2012, in respect of which provisions the Court has repeatedly held that the concept of the ‘place where the harmful event occurred’, within the meaning of those provisions, is intended to cover both the place where the damage occurred and the place of the event giving rise to it, so that the defendant may be sued, at the option of the applicant, in the courts for either of those places (see, to that effect, judgment of 29 July 2019, Tibor-Trans, C‑451/18, EU:C:2019:635, paragraph 25 and the case-law cited).
