Headnote
1. The sole fact a contractual term may have negative consequences for the consumer does not imply automatically that the contractual term creates a “clear and significant imbalance”. The judicial control is based on a global assessment of all the contractual commitments. A specific disadvantage is to be assessed in the light of all the contractual obligations engaged in.
2. Judicial control is confined to a marginal assessment of what the situation would be in absence of the said clause and of whether in that situation no longer a clear and manifest imbalance would occur between the parties’ rights and obligations.
