2014/C 151/10
Language of the case: German
Referring court
Landesgericht Bozen
Parties to the main proceedings
Applicant: Ulrike Elfriede Grauel Rüffer
Defendant: Katerina Pokorná
Re:
Request for a preliminary ruling — Tribunale di Bolzano/Landesgericht Bozen — Interpretation of Articles 18 and 21 TFEU — Non-discrimination and citizenship of the Union — Language regime applicable to civil proceedings — Derogation for nationals — Extension of that derogation to EU nationals in the same situation as nationals
Operative part of the judgment
Articles 18 TFEU and 21 TFEU must be interpreted as precluding national rules, such as those at issue in the main proceedings, which grant the right to use a language other than the official language of that State in civil proceedings brought before the courts of a Member State which are situated in a specific territorial entity, only to citizens of that State who are domiciled in the same territorial entity.
