Judgment_paragraph 33 · RH v AB Volvo and Others (C-30/20)

33As regards the question of which court within the Member State thus identified has jurisdiction, it is clear from the very wording of Article 7(2) of Regulation No 1215/2012 that that provision confers directly and immediately both international and territorial jurisdiction on the courts for the place where the damage occurred. As the Advocate General observed in point 46 of his Opinion, that analysis is supported, in particular, by Mr P. Jenard’s report on the Convention of 27 September 1968 on jurisdiction and the enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters (OJ 1979 C 59, p. 1).
