Court of Justice (Third Chamber) 5 July 2012, C‑49/11 (Content Services Ltd v Bundesarbeitskammer.)

Also known as

The core legal dispute in Case C-49/11 revolves around whether a seller's practice of providing consumer information solely through a hyperlink on their website complies with the requirements of Article 5(1) of Directive 97/7/EC. The Court concluded that this practice does not satisfy the directive's stipulation that consumers must receive information in a manner that ensures it is both 'given' and 'received,' as a hyperlink does not constitute a 'durable medium.' Consequently, the Court ruled that such a business practice fails to meet the necessary consumer protection standards established by the directive.AI
