Overview
- Germany’s federal consumer federation (vzbv) says it will file a revision to the Federal Court of Justice after losing in Stuttgart.
- The Oberlandesgericht Stuttgart dismissed the claim in late September, ruling that a price under German and EU law means a monetary amount.
- Judges in Stuttgart allowed a revision because of the case’s fundamental importance, positioning the dispute as a sector-wide pilot.
- The timing of the filing was not disclosed, and Lidl has not commented on the latest step.
- Lidl Plus reports more than 100 million users worldwide, and a BGH ruling could reshape how retailers market “free” apps and disclose data use.
