  • Įžanginė pastaba

    The Court found that the disclosure of the purpose of the property immediately before concluding the real estate purchase-sale agreement at the notary's office is considered an unfair consumer contract clause if the purpose of the property was an essential condition for the buyer to decide on the terms of the agreement.

  • Faktai

    Plaintiff (consumer) bought non-residential premises from the defendant (UAB “Karolinos turas”). A term of the purchase-sale agreement stated that the property sold was owned by the seller, was legally acquired and fully paid for. However, 2 years after concluding the contract, the buyer found out that there were two civil cases in court regarding the real property. Also, the purpose (non-residential) of the property was disclosed to the plaintiff just before the conclusion of the contract at the notary's office. The plaintiff filed a lawsuit against the defendant asking the court to declare the purchase-sale agreement invalid and to apply restitution. The First Instance Court dismissed the action.

  • Teisės klausimas

    Does the disclosure of the purpose of the property immediately before concluding the real estate purchase-sale agreement at the notary's office constitute an unfair consumer contract clause, if the purpose of the property was an essential condition for the buyer to decide on the terms of the agreement?

  • Sprendimas

    The Court found that the purpose of the property was disclosed to the plaintiff immediately before the conclusion of the purchase-sale contract at the notary's office. Such a time limit for information clearly violates Article 6.2284 paragraph 2, part 9 of the Civil Code and cannot be considered appropriate. In the light of the circumstances of the case, it should be noted that the facts which had not been disclosed to the plaintiff before the conclusion of the contract at the notary's office were essential for her to decide on the terms of the agreement, since the plaintiff purchased premises for residential purposes. It must be stated that a normally diligent and reasonable person aware of the real situation - that the purpose of the purchased premises from "hotels" to "residential" may not be changed or will be changed only after a very long period after concluding the contract, and that the property cannot be fully used as an apartment - would not have entered into the agreement or if they had, they would have done so on substantially different terms. It should be noted that the defendant's commitment clause of the contract to change the purpose of the premises within two and a half months of the conclusion of the contract also proves the defendant's dishonesty, as the defendant did not provide evidence in its retaliation that it could reasonably expect to fulfill this condition.
