Suspension of proceedings pending CJEU preliminary ruling on EU law interpretation in civil litigation
Deutschland (DE)
Legislator-Zusammenfassung
KI-generiertThe German Federal Court of Justice (BGH), Second Civil Senate, suspended the proceedings pursuant to Section 148 of the Code of Civil Procedure (ZPO) pending a preliminary ruling by the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU). This procedural order resolves no substantive dispute on the merits but rather pauses the case to await the CJEU's interpretation of Union law, following a preliminary reference lodged by the Senate in a related matter (II ZR 193/22). The underlying litigation concerns a civil commercial dispute where the resolution of key legal questions depends on the CJEU's forthcoming guidance. The decisive legal basis is the power of national courts to stay proceedings when a decisive question of EU law is pending before the CJEU, operationalized through the specific procedural mechanism of suspension under German civil procedure law.
