Judgment_paragraph 34 · Tilman SA v Unilever Supply Chain Company AG (C-358/21)

34Accordingly, and since Article 23(1) and (2) of the Lugano II Convention is identical to Article 23(1) and (2) of the Brussels I Regulation, and Article 23(1) of that regulation was itself drafted in almost identical terms to the first paragraph of Article 17 of the Brussels Convention, it is necessary, for the purposes of interpreting Article 23(1) and (2) of the Lugano II Convention, to take account of the Court’s interpretation of the corresponding provisions of the Brussels Convention and of the Brussels I Regulation (see, by analogy, judgments of 7 February 2013, Refcomp, C‑543/10, EU:C:2013:62, paragraphs 18 and 19, and of 21 May 2015, El Majdoub, C‑322/14, EU:C:2015:334, paragraphs 27 and 28). Similarly, in so far as Article 25(1) and (2) of the Brussels Ia Regulation has replaced, essentially in identical terms, Article 23(1) and (2) of the Brussels I Regulation, the Court’s case-law on the first of those provisions must also be taken into consideration.
