Language of the case: Czech
Applicant: Nárokuj s.r.o.
Defendant: EC Financial Services, a.s.
Articles 8 and 23 of Directive 2008/48/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2008 on credit agreements for consumers and repealing Council Directive 87/102/EEC
must be interpreted as not precluding, where the creditor has failed to fulfil its obligation to examine the consumer’s creditworthiness, that creditor from being penalised, in accordance with national law, by the consumer credit agreement being void and its entitlement to payment of the agreed interest being forfeited, even though that agreement has been fully performed by the parties and the consumer has not suffered any harmful consequences as a result of that failure to fulfil the obligation.
