This principle can be transferred easily to all house and utilizable animal issues also.

Animal Trade without Frontiers

A lot of horses, dogs, and other animals are sold to and bought from Germany everyday. When problems occur, questions arise in relation to the relevant legislation and which court is responsible.
Of course everyone would prefer to have their lawsuit carried out in their home country: no travel costs, the court speaks your own language, and it makes finding a lawyer much easier. However, the sequestration has to be conducted where the money is, therefore going abroad is sometimes unavoidable.
A first level court trial in Germany takes at the local court (which is in charge up to 5000 EUR) 7,1 months, at the district court (in charge from 5000 EUR) 13,2 months. The costs would be:
matter - costs (for court, one lawyer each party)
1000 EUR - 900 EUR
5000 EUR - 3000 EUR
10000 EUR - 4700 EUR, here enforcement would be additional 150 EUR.

German law generally offers a free choice of law. The exception proves the rule.
EU-citizens receive some protection from EU rulings. At large an EU-citizen must be sued where they live. One exception would be the jurisdiction of the lieu of shipment.
Without diverting agreement, the following general rules apply. But as always, be aware of possible exceptions. You need a German lawyer if...:
A German buys from a Foreigner in Germany.
Applicable law: German
court having jurisdiction: in general lieu of defendant.

A German buys from a Foreigner abroad.
