58Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is important to note that individuals who, due to a decision of a court adjudicating at last instance, may have suffered damage as a result of an infringement of rights which are conferred on them by EU law, may hold that Member State liable, provided that the conditions relating to the sufficiently serious nature of the breach and to the existence of a direct causal link between that breach and the loss or damage sustained by those individuals are satisfied (see, to that effect, in particular, judgments of 30 September 2003, Köbler, C‑224/01, EU:C:2003:513, paragraph 59, and of 21 December 2021, Randstad Italia, C‑497/20, EU:C:2021:1037, paragraph 80).
