Belgian Electronic Sorting Technology NV v Peelaers and another: (Case C-657/11);   [2013] WLR (D)  275

“Article 2(1) of Council Directive 84/450/EEC of 10 September 1984 concerning misleading and comparative advertising, as amended, meant that the term ‘advertising’ covered the use of a domain name and that of metatags in a website’s metadata. By contrast, the registration of a domain name, as such, was not encompassed by that term.”
