Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to analyse the evolution of the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union with regard to the interpretation of the concept of consumer in art. 15 of Regulation (EU) 1215/2012 and art. 6 of Regulation (EC) 593/2008. In particular, the analysis focuses on the criteria established by the aforementioned Court to characterise as consumers or as professionals to individuals who contract for a dual purpose, partly related and partly unrelated to their professional activity. It analyses the decisions issued by the Court since the famous CJEU ruling of 25 January 2018, case C-498/16, Schrems v. Facebook in order to determine whether its impact has been as significant as expected.
