Abstract
The paper examines the issues of establishing international judicial jurisdiction in relation to crossborder consumer disputes in the digital environment. To this end, the author makes a comparative analysis of the grounds for establishing judicial jurisdiction in the form of "distribution of advertising in the information and telecommunication network "Internet", aimed at attracting the attention of consumers" enshrined in art. 402 part 3 para. 2 of the Civil Procedural Code of the Russian Federation, and the criterion of "directed activity of the professional party to the territory of the country of residence of the consumer", provided for in EU law.
The paper provides proposals for the interpretation of the grounds of jurisdiction of the Russian court, i.e. "advertising in the information and telecommunications network "Internet", aimed at attracting the attention of consumers in the territory of the Russian Federation", which should determine the use of protective judicial mechanisms in relation to the consumer from the use of an adverse judicial jurisdiction of a state, and against the employer, with the reasonable possibility of foreseeing the establishment of judicial jurisdiction of the consumer.
