Questão jurídica principal
Whether Geneva courts had jurisdiction over the claim against Daimler AG under the Lugano Convention consumer-contract rules.
Decisão extraída
No. A manufacturer’s warranty tied to the vehicle did not create a consumer contract with reciprocal and interdependent obligations under Art. 13 CL.
Fundamentação extraída
Art. 13 CL is interpreted strictly; the claimed warranty was at most a unilateral sui generis undertaking, not a contract in the sense required for consumer jurisdiction, so Art. 14 CL could not be invoked.
