Leathertex Divisions Sintetici Spa v Bodetex Bvba: ECJ 5 Oct 1999

Where a court is seised of one case arising from a breach of contract arising within its own jurisdiction, it does not have power also to deal with a claim arising under the same contract but arising from a different breach occurring in a different jurisdiction. A plaintiff could bring all matters together by pursuing the defendant in that defendant’s own jurisdiction of domicile.
