Summary
The claim is related to the unpaid purchase price of the sale of office furniture by a Belgian seller to a Dutch buyer. The claimant argues that the goods were picked up by the buyer. Therefore, the place of delivery within the meaning of Art. 5(1)(b) is in Belgium and the Belgian courts have jurisdiction. The court correctly applies Brussels I.
