Judgment_paragraph 25 · Ultimo Portfolio Investment (Luxembourg) S.A. v KM (C-303/20)

25Furthermore, although Ultimo Portfolio Investment and the Polish Government submit, inter alia, that under the Polish procedural rules a civil court hearing a civil case may not apply the penalties provided for in the Code of minor offences and that the penalty laid down in Article 138c(1a) of that code can be imposed only by a criminal court, it must be recalled that, in particular, the Court is empowered only to give rulings on the interpretation or the validity of an EU provision on the basis of the facts which the national court or tribunal puts before it. By contrast, it falls exclusively to the referring court to interpret national legislation (see, to that effect, judgment of 11 March 2021, Firma Z, C‑802/19, EU:C:2021:195, paragraph 37).
