Revue pro právo a technologie
This paper aims to critically evaluate the jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of the EU regarding the interpretation of the term "place of the harmful event" in Article 7 Section 2 of the Brussels Ibis Regulation for disputes arising from the violation of personal rights and defamation on the internet. For this analysis and critical evaluation, mainly two judgments are used; judgments in the case of Mittelbayerischer Verlag and Gtflix TV, in which the Court of Justice of the EU widened the definition of the criterion centre of interests and confirmed the preservation of the so-called mosaic approach and the mere availability of harmful content on the territory of the forum. These two decisions are further placed in the context of conflict of law rules, the EU internal market and recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments.
