Jurisdiction of One Regional Court Over Several Court Districts

(1) The Land governments are authorised to refer, by way of a statutory instrument, civil actions for which the regional courts have exclusive jurisdiction pursuant to Section 87 to one regional court for the districts of several regional courts if such centralisation serves the administration of justice in cartel matters or the coherent enforcement of Regulation (EU) 2022/1925, in particular to ensure uniform case law. The Land governments may delegate their powers in this regard to their judicial administrations.

(2) The jurisdiction of one regional court over individual districts or the entire territory of several Länder may be established by treaties between the Länder.

(3) The parties may be represented before the courts referred to in subsections (1) and (2) also by lawyers admitted to practice before the court which, in the absence of the provisions set out in subsections (1) and (2), would have jurisdiction over the legal action.
