Judgment_paragraph 26 · EM v Roompot Service BV (C-497/22)

26As regards the objective pursued by that provision, it must be noted, as is clear from the Court’s settled case-law, that the essential reason for conferring exclusive jurisdiction on the courts of the Member State in which the immovable property is situated is that the courts of the locus rei sitae are the best placed, for reasons of proximity, to ascertain the facts satisfactorily and to apply the rules and practices which are generally those of the State in which the property is situated (judgment of 25 March 2021, Obala i lučice, C‑307/19, EU:C:2021:236, paragraph 77 and the case-law cited).
