“In its judgment in Case C-59/19 Wikingerhof the CJEU has ruled that a hotel using the platform Booking.com may, in principle, bring proceedings against Booking.com before a court of the Member State in which that hotel is established in order to bring to an end a possible abuse of a dominant position. According to the Court, in so far as such an action is based on the legal obligation to refrain from any abuse of a dominant position, it is a matter relating to tort, delict or quasi-delict within the meaning of point 2 of Article 7 of Regulation No 1215/2012 (Brussels Ia).”
