Judgment_paragraph 24 · VW v SW and Others and Legea S.r.l. v VW and Others (C-686/21)

24It should be recalled that, in proceedings under Article 267 TFEU, which are based on a clear separation of functions between the national courts and the Court of Justice, the national court alone has jurisdiction to determine and assess the facts of the main proceedings and to interpret and apply national law. It is likewise solely for the national court before which the dispute has been brought, and which must assume responsibility for the subsequent judicial decision, to determine in the light of the particular circumstances of the case both the need and the relevance of the questions which it submits to the Court (judgment of 6 October 2022, Contship Italia, C‑433/21 and C‑434/21, EU:C:2022:760, paragraph 23).
