Court of Justice 10 November 1976, 21-76 (Handelskwekerij G. J. Bier BV v Mines de potasse d'Alsace SA.)
Also known as
The opinion of Mr. Advocate-General Capotorti addresses the interpretation of Article 5 (3) of the Brussels Convention concerning jurisdiction in cases of tort, delict, or quasi-delict. The central legal dispute revolves around whether "the place where the harmful event occurred" refers to the location of the damage or the location of the act causing the damage, with Capotorti advocating for the former interpretation to align with the aims of the Convention and protect the rights of the injured party. Ultimately, he concludes that the Court should interpret the provision to mean the place where the damage for which compensation is claimed occurred.AI
