Judgment_paragraph 74 · Stichting Right to Consumer Justice and Stichting App Stores Claims v Apple Distribution International Ltd and Apple Inc (C-34/24)

74In that regard, it must be stated that, in view of the specific features of competition law cases and, more specifically, the fact that the bringing of actions for damages for an infringement of that law requires, in principle, a complex factual and economic analysis, the grouping of individual claims together is likely to facilitate both the exercise of the right to compensation by the injured persons (see, to that effect, judgment of 28 January 2025, ASG 2, C‑253/23, EU:C:2025:40, paragraph 85) and the task incumbent on the court seised. In the context of Article 7(2) of Regulation No 1215/2012, the technical complexity of the rules applicable to actions for damages for infringements of competition law provisions may thus militate in favour of a centralisation of jurisdiction (judgment of 15 July 2021, Volvo and Others, C‑30/20, EU:C:2021:604, paragraph 37 and the case-law cited), in particular where those actions relate to practices of operators running digital platforms.
