Re:

Reference for a preliminary ruling — Oberster Gerichtshof — Interpretation of Article 6(1) of Council Regulation (EC) No 44/2001 of 22 December 2000 on jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters (OJ 2001 L 12, p. 1) — Multiple defendants — Action brought in a Contracting State against a first defendant domiciled in that State and a co-defendant domiciled in another Contracting State — Inadmissibility of the action against that first defendant, the subject of bankruptcy proceedings — Jurisdiction of the court seised in relation to the co-defendant

Operative part of the judgment

Article 6(1) of Council Regulation (EC) No 44/2001 of 22 December 2000 on jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters must be interpreted as meaning that, in a situation such as that in the main proceedings, that provision may be relied on in the context of an action brought in a Member State against a defendant domiciled in that State and a co-defendant domiciled in another Member State even when that action is regarded under a national provision as inadmissible from the time it is brought in relation to the first defendant.
