    Unfair Contract Terms Directive, Article 1
  • Megjegyzés

    The Supreme Court holds that foreign currency-based credit agreements are valid if the written explanations regarding currency exchange rate fluctuation are sufficiently detailed and if the debtor had provably consented to having read these.

  • Tények

    The plaintiff (debtor) signed a foreign currency-based credit agreement with the first respondent (creditor), represented by the second respondent. The contract included a statement that the plaintiff understood the risks of loss resulting from currency exchange rate fluctuation, which was accompanied by a written explanation, and an alleged oral explanation by the second respondent. After the conclusion of the contract, the first respondent transferred its rights from the contract to the third respondent. Due to currency exchange rate fluctuation causing significant divergence in the amount owed by the plaintiff, the parties entered into a legal dispute.

  • Jogi kérdés

    Was the contract invalid due to the insufficiency of risk explanation (unfair terms)?

  • Határozat

    The Supreme Court found that the contract was valid. The explanation of risk provided by the creditor was sufficient in scope, breadth and clarity; and based on the documentations signed by the plaintiff, the contract’s risk would have been clear to any average consumer who was generally informed, reasonably attentive and cautious.
