Week XLIII: 20th to 24th October
Thursday 23rd October
Judgment in Case C-469/24 Tuleka
(Consumer protection)
Two Polish travellers went on an all-inclusive holiday to a five-star hotel in Albania.
The day after their arrival, they were awakened by the noise of demolition work on the
hotel’s swimming pools, ordered by the Albanian authorities. The work continued for
four days, from 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.
By the end of the work, the swimming pools, the seafront promenade and the paved
access to the sea had been demolished. Travellers also had to wait in long lines to get
their meals and were forced to eat as soon as the meals started to be served, as only a
limited number of meals were served. The afternoon snack was also eliminated.
Finally, during the last three days of the stay, work began to add a fifth floor to the
hotel.
The travellers took legal action to claim a full refund of the cost of their trip and a
compensation. Seeking clarification on their rights under the Package Travel Directive,
the Polish judge referred the matter to the Court of Justice.

This referral was made in the context of an administrative infringement proceedings
and a dispute between IMI – IMAGES MÉDICALES INTÉGRÉES S.A. (‘IMI’) and the
national Competition authority, Portugal (‘AdC’) concerning an investigation conducted
by the latter to determine whether there had been a breach of competition rules.
The AdC conducted an investigation into the existence of an agreement or concerted
practice between companies operating in the market for radiology technologies in the
healthcare sector which are active on the teleradiology market, and at increasing the
price paid by the State for the provision of services, in relation to which public tenders
are periodically organised by Portuguese public hospitals.
In this context, the AdC carried out searches, examination, collection and seizures at
the premises of IMI, the company under investigation.
To this end, the AdC had obtained prior authorisation from the Public Prosecutor’s
Office, which issued warrants ordering the seizure of “copies or extracts of accounting
records and other documents, including emails and internal documents relating to the
communication of information between different hierarchical levels and the
preparation of decisions at the level of corporate commercial policy, as well as
minutes of management or administrative meetings administrative meetings…”.
However, the seizure of evidence in places where healthcare is provided or where
documents subject to medical confidentiality are classified was excluded from the
scope of the authorisation granted by the warrant issued by the public prosecutor.
