Abstract
La aplicación del fuero de la pluralidad de demandados del artículo 8.1 del Reglamento 1215/2012 se subordina a que el riesgo de resoluciones contradictorias si los asuntos se juzgasen separadamente se plantee “en el marco de una misma situación de hecho y de Derecho”. La reciente sentencia del TJUE en el asunto C-832/21, Beverage City Polska, presenta el interés de aportar precisiones adicionales acerca de cuándo cabe apreciar la concurrencia de una misma situación de hecho en supuestos en los que los codemandados están vinculados mediante un contrato de distribución exclusiva en virtud del cual comercializan los mismos productos en distintos Estados miembros.
In order for the multiple defendant forum in Article 8(1) of the Brussels Ia Regulation to be applicable, the closely connected claims that may result in irreconcilable judgments must arise “in the context of the same situation of fact and law”. The recent judgment by the CJEU in C-832/21, Beverage City Polska, provides additional clarification as to the relevant factors to establish the existence of the same situation of fact for the purpose of applying that provision, in cases where the co-defendants are linked by an exclusive distribution contract by virtue of which they market the same products in different Member States.
