The commercial court of Vienna rejected the ‘class action’ suit against Facebook and referred it to another court.
The commercial court’s spokesman said: “It is a claim that doesn’t belong at the commercial court but belongs at the regional court for civil cases.” He referred to it as a procedural decision.
If the court accepts the case, it has to serve notice on Facebook Ireland, which is the defendant in the case. This could take some time too, as the notice might have to be translated first, she (a spokeswoman for the regional court) added.
