    Unfair Contract Terms Directive, Article 3
  • Uvodna opomba

    ECLI:SI:VSLJ:2019:II.CP.2237.2018

    The assessment of the unfairness of the main subject of the contract is only possible if it has been determined vaguely. If the provision on the main subject of the contract is clear, it is decisive that the party agreed with the content of the contract, so the unfairness of individual agreements cannot be invoked, as a subsequent assessment of the fairness of the main subject of the contract would severely interfere with the parties' contractual autonomy.

    This applies and explains when the assessment of the unfairness of the main contractual subject is possible.

    The borrower entered into a credit agreement with a currency clause in CHF. Also, in this case, the question was raised as to whether the bank, in the light of its expertise and experience, had correctly and properly informed the consumer of the risks which they had accepted by concluding a foreign currency credit agreement and the consequences of possible changes in the exchange rate.

    1. When is the duty to explain to consumers, correct and proper?

  • Odločba

    The Appellate Court found that the Court of First Instance had correctly applied the provisions of the Consumer Credit Act, the Code of Obligations, the Consumer Protection Act (art. 23) and Directive 93/13 as well as correctly summarised the case law of the CJEU which arose from Case C-186/16 (Andriciuc). The Appellate Court also confirms to the Court of First Instance that the plaintiff's statement is not merely abstract and formalistic, as the plaintiff was aware at the time of signing the credit agreement that she had taken out a loan in foreign currency and was properly aware of the currency risk and she accepted that risk. Following this, the Appellate Court confirms to the Court of  First Instance that the duty to explain was correctly and properly fulfilled, and that the defendant as a bank did not act in bad faith, as it could not foresee the measures that significantly affected the CHF exchange rate increase.

  • Zadetek

    In the present case, the bank and its duty to explain were correct and properly fulfilled, and the bank (defendant), did not act in bad faith as it could not foresee the measures that affected the significant increase in the CHF exchange rate. No grounds of appeal were raised, nor were any grounds on which the Appellate Court should have regarded ex officio. Therefore, the plaintiff's appeal was unfounded, and the judgement of the Court of  First Instance was upheld.
