    According to settled case law, only the complete submission to the claim of an institution entitled to bring an action pursuant to § 29 KSchG (Consumer Protection Act; = Art 3 of Directive 2009/22/EC) eliminates the risk of repetition.

  • Sachverhalt

    The plaintiff, who was entitled to bring an action for an injunction pursuant to § 29 KSchG (= Art 3 of Directive 2009/22/EC), objected to several clauses in the defendant's general terms and conditions.

  • Rechtsfrage

    The question was: At what point does the risk of repetition, which is a prerequisite for the admissibility of an action for an injunction in Austria, no longer exist?

  • Entscheidung

    In this respect, the Supreme Court referred to its established case law according to which the risk of repetition is deemed to no longer exist if the defendant fully submits to the claim of an institution entitled to bring an action pursuant to § 29 KSchG (= Art 3 of Directive 2009/22/EC). Accordingly, a complete submission is not given if the defendant wishes to add certain exceptions to the declaration to cease and desist submitted pursuant to § 28 (2) KSchG (corresponds to Art 2 of Directive 2009/22/EC). With regard to certain clauses used by the plaintiff, the defendant only gave a limited undertaking to cease and desist from certain parts of the clauses. The remaining parts were "deleted" from the declaration and were to remain in place. However, this in no way eliminates the risk of repetition.

    The Supreme Court follows the two lower courts in its decision. The risk of repetition is not eliminated by the statement made by the defendant.
