9 Oct 2025 BGH: price reduction only permissible with a clearly legible 30-day lowest price GermanyMisleading advertising and pricing Order

A food discounter advertised a coffee with a price reduction without stating the lowest total price of the previous 30 days unambiguously, clearly recognisably and legibly. In an action brought by the Wettbewerbszentrale (Centre for Protection against Unfair Competition), the BGH upheld the injunction issued by the lower courts (Regional Court of Amberg, Higher Regional Court of Nuremberg).

What organisations can take from it

In all discount advertising, state the 30-day lowest price as clearly as the discount itself.
