         Request for an Advisory Opinion from the EFTA Court by Fürstliches Landgericht, dated 14 September 2011, in the case between Granville Establishment and Volker Anhalt, Melanie Anhalt and Jasmin Barbaro, née Anhalt
   (Case E-13/11)
   2012/C 29/09
   A request has been made to the EFTA Court by a letter of 15 September 2011 from Fürstliches Landgericht, Liechtenstein (Princely Court of Justice, Liechtenstein), which was received at the Court Registry on 22 September 2011, for an Advisory Opinion in the case between Granville Establishment and Volker Anhalt, Melanie Anhalt and Jasmin Barbaro, née Anhalt, on the following questions:
   
               1.
            
            
               Can a national of an EEA State rely on a provision such as Section 53a of the Liechtenstein Jurisdiction Law, which accords Liechtenstein nationals the right not to be sued abroad on the basis of a jurisdiction agreement unless that jurisdiction agreement has been publicly recorded, and derive directly there from also the right not to be sued in Liechtenstein (and, thus, from the perspective of that national, also abroad) on the basis of a jurisdiction agreement unless it has been publicly recorded?
            
         
               2.
            
            
               If Question 1 is answered in the affirmative. Can that right be invoked in a case such as the one at hand, that is, in civil law proceedings, and thus directly in a dispute between private parties?
