Re:
REFERENCE for a preliminary ruling — Landesgericht Innsbruck — Interpretation of Art. I0 EC — Duty of court of appeal to review and set aside a final first instance judicial decision on jurisdiction where there is an infringement of Community law — Interpretation of Art. 15(1)(c) of Council Regulation (EC) No 44/100 of 22 December 2000 on jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of judgements in civil and commercial matters (OJ 2001 L 12, p.1) — National law on consumer protection providing for a right to the prize supposedly won by the addressee of misleading advertising.
Operative part of the judgment
The principle of cooperation under Article 10 EC does not require a national court to disapply its internal rules of procedure in order to review and set aside a final judicial decision if that decision should be contrary to Community law.
