12/11/2001: Consumer Contracts
The position under the Brussels Regulation replacing the Brussels Convention of 1968 and the potential impact on e-commerce: Article 15 of the Regulation alters the definition of ‘Consumer Contract’ such that a consumer can now take action in his local courts against a supplier ‘who pursues commercial or professional activities’ in the consumer’s home state or who, ‘by any means, directs such activities’ to that state, or several states including that state, where ‘the contract falls within the scope of such activities’. This amounts to a considerable dilution of the requirements of the Convention which require direct advertising/ invitation and could mean that where a consumer located in one member state visits a website and offers to buy goods/ services from a company’s website based in another member state, that company could be said to have directed its activities to the member state of the consumer domicile. Therefore, the company would face the prospect of proceedings in that state, regardless of any jurisdiction agreement contained in the contract- i.e. if a UK e-commerce site is used by a French consumer, the French courts will have jurisdiction in the event of a subsequent dispute.
