44As regards the conditions for establishing such liability, the Court has repeatedly held that individuals who have been harmed have a right to compensation where three conditions are met: the rule of EU law infringed must be intended to confer rights on them; the infringement of that rule must be sufficiently serious; and there must be a direct causal link between that infringement and the loss or damage sustained by those individuals (judgment of 28 June 2022, Commission v Spain (Breach of EU law by the legislature), C‑278/20, EU:C:2022:503, paragraph 31 and the case-law cited).
