(Reference for a preliminary ruling - Consumer protection - Directive 93/13/EEC - Unfair terms in consumer contracts - Article 6(1) and Article 7(1) - Principle of equivalence - Mortgage loan agreements - Term stipulating that costs relating to the contract are to be paid by the consumer - Action for invalidity - Limitation period for an action seeking repayment of sums paid but not due - Actions seeking, respectively, a declaration that a contractual term is invalid and seeking to enforce the restitutory effects of such a declaration subject to different limitation periods)
(C/2025/2502)
Language of the case: Spanish
Applicant: MF
Defendant: Banco Santander SA
Article 6(1) and Article 7(1) of Council Directive 93/13/EEC of 5 April 1993 on unfair terms in consumer contracts, and the principle of equivalence,
must be interpreted as not precluding national legislation or case-law which, while providing that an action seeking a declaration of invalidity of an unfair term in a contract concluded between a seller or supplier and a consumer is not subject to a time limit, subjects the action seeking to enforce the restitutory effects of that declaration to a limitation period, in so far as the national legal system provides, in areas other than those covered by Directive 93/13, for actions based on the effects of a declaration of invalidity which are similar, as regards their purpose, cause of action and essential characteristics, to actions seeking to enforce those restitutory effects and which are subject to a limitation period comparable to that which applies to the latter actions.
