ECLI:NL:RBDHA:2026:7315 Rechtbank Den Haag, 18-03-2026, c/09/694014 HA ZA 25-972
Jurisdiction of Dutch court for boiler room fraud. Jurisdiction incident of Kyrrex UK Ltd which plaintiffs allege is involved in boiler room fraud involving crypto. The court assumes jurisdiction under Section 6(e) Rv. The present situation differs from the situation in Universal Music. It involves consumers who have been duped by crypto fraud. These circumstances justify that the Dutch court has jurisdiction under Section 6(e) Rv, so that affected consumers can sue the parties involved in the boiler room fraud from various countries in one set of proceedings before their national court. Kyrrex UK Ltd’s request for an interim appeal is denied.
