  • Factos
    The plaintiff is a supplier and distributor of canalized gas, both natural and propane, and the defendant is an association of distribution companies of propane gas.
    The defendant initiated a campaign against natural gas consumption and, among other initiatives, distributed brochures stating that natural gas was safer and greener than propane gas. The defendant claimed that this campaign was a misleading commercial practice as it involved the use of comparative advertisement.

    The court considered that the distribution of brochures by the defendant stating that natural gas was safer and greener than propane gas should not be regarded as a misleading commercial practice as the brochures did not contain false information, being therefore in compliance with article 6 Directive 2005/29/EC.
