Judgment of the Court of Justice in Case C-173/03 Traghetti
del Mediterraneo
state liability‚͈̔͊g‘åFf
Community law precludes national legislation which excludes State liability, in
a general manner, for damage caused to individuals by an infringement of
Community law attributable to a court adjudicating at last instance by reason
of the fact that the infringement in question results from an interpretation of
provisions of law or an assessment of facts or evidence carried out by that
court. Community law also precludes national legislation which limits such
liability solely to cases of intentional fault and serious misconduct on the
part of the court, if such a limitation were to lead to exclusion of the
liability of the Member State concerned in other cases where a manifest
infringement of the applicable law was committed, as set out in paragraphs 53
to 56 of the Köbler judgment.f
