Abstract:
This comment examines the judgment given by the Court of Justice in Hi Hotel, in which it interpreted Art. 5(3) of the Brussels I Regulation as regards actions for infringement of copyright filed only against one of several supposed perpetrators. The Court held that these actions cannot be filed before the courts of a Member State where the defendant did not act if jurisdiction is based on the place where the causal event occurred. However, it is possible to bring such actions in a Member State where the defendant did not act in accordance with the criterion of the place where the damage occurred.
