Regarding jurisdiction rules, the Court has accepted that a national rule under which actions for an injunction brought by consumer protection associations must be brought before the courts where the defendant, i.e. the seller or supplier, is established or has its address do not infringe the effectiveness principle (522). The Court considered that consumer associations are not in the same weak position as individual consumers when requesting injunctions against sellers or suppliers, and referred to Article 4(1) of Directive 2009/22/EC (523).
