High Court (Ireland)

Parties to the main proceedings


Applicant: LD

Defendants: Criminal Injuries Compensation Tribunal, Minister for Justice and Equality, Ireland, Attorney General

Questions referred







a)


Does the obligation imposed on Member States by Article 12(2) of Directive 2004/80/EC (“the Compensation Directive”) (1) to provide “fair and appropriate compensation” to victims of violent intentional crimes, require that a victim be compensated for both material and non-material loss within the meaning of 
Presidenza del Consiglio dei Ministri v BV (“BV”)
 (Case C[-]129/19, EU:C:2020:566)?










b)


If the answer to Question (a) is yes, what forms of loss fall within the scope of “non-material loss”?










c)


In particular, does a victim’s ‘pain and suffering’ fall within the scope of “non-material loss?”










d)


If the answer to a) and c) is yes, bearing in mind that [M]ember [S]tates are required to ensure that their schemes are financially viable, what relationship should the “fair and appropriate compensation[”] awarded to a victim pursuant to the Compensation Directive bear to the damages in tort that would be awarded to that victim as against the relevant perpetrator as tort-feasor.










e)


Can the compensation established for victims of violent intentional crimes under the ‘Scheme of Compensation for Personal Injuries Criminally Inflicted’ (the “Scheme”) be regarded as “fair and appropriate compensation to victims” within the meaning of Article 12(2) of the Compensation Directive if a victim is awarded the sum of €645.65 as compensation for a serious eye injury resulting in permanent sight impairment?

Questions referred







1.


Is there a conflict between EU law and case-law such as the judgment handed down by the Najvyšší súd Slovenskej republiky (Supreme Court of the Slovak Republic, Slovakia) on 28 February 2022, ref. 7Cdo 294/2019, according to which the requirement that the subject matter of the service for which the consumer must pay an arrangement fee be clear and intelligible is met if ‘it follows from the definition of the disputed fee that it is an arrangement fee, i.e. a fee for activities by the lender that are essential for the conclusion of the agreement and that form part of the lender’s internal management and the costs incurred by that lender, i.e. activities by the lender associated with arranging the loan, such as the drafting or conclusion of the agreement, etc.’, and also the amount of the fee was clearly set out?










2.


Does the extent of the expenses incurred by the lender in connection with the service associated with such a fee, and thus the question of whether the agreement should indicate the subject matter of that service, or the question of whether the fee is merely remunerative in nature and the lender is not obliged, when determining it, to take into account the expenses it has incurred in connection with providing the service associated with that fee, have any bearing on the assessment of whether the arrangement fee is inadmissible?










3.


If the arrangement fee is intended to reflect the expenses incurred by the lender in connection with the service associated with such a fee, is this relevant to the objectives set out in Article 6(1) of Directive 93/13 (2) in situations where the lender transfers to the consumer, in the form of such a fee, all of the expenses borne by the lender in connection with providing the service associated with that fee, and where the subject matter of the service is in the interest of both parties to the agreement?

Questions referred







1.


Is Article 5(1) of Directive 2014/104/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (1) of 26 November 2014 applicable to an action for access to evidence prior to the bringing of an action for damages within the meaning of Article 2(4) of that directive?
If the foregoing question is answered in the affirmative:










2.


Does the requirement as to the plausibility of the [claim for damages] laid down in Article 5(1) of Directive 2014/104/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 November 2014 always compel the applicant to demonstrate that, in the case at issue, harm is more likely to have been caused to the consumers represented, in this instance those resident in Portugal, than not?










3.


May national courts base the criterion as to the plausibility of the [claim for damages] laid down in Article 5(1) of Directive 2014/104/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 November 2014 exclusively on the existence of a decision adopted by the competent competition authorities[?] In particular, what bearing would it have on this analysis if the decision in question were one adopted as part of a settlement procedure relating to a vertical infringement by object of EU competition law?






(1)  Directive 2014/104/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 November 2014 on certain rules governing actions for damages under national law for infringements of the competition law provisions of the Member States and of the European Union (OJ 2014 L 349, p. 1).
