Parties to the main proceedings

Applicant: Credit Agricole Bank Polska S.A.

Defendant: AB

Operative part of the judgment

Article 6(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1215/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 December 2012 on jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters

must be interpreted as meaning that, where the last known domicile of a defendant who is a national of a third State and a consumer is situated in the Member State of the court seised of the matter, and that court is unable to identify the current domicile of the defendant and has no firm evidence to support the conclusion that the defendant is in fact domiciled in another Member State or outside the European Union, jurisdiction to hear the matter is determined not by the law of the Member State of that court, but by Article 18(2) of that regulation, which confers jurisdiction to hear the matter on the court within whose judicial district the defendant’s last known domicile is situated.
