Language of the case: Lithuanian
Applicants at first instance, appellants and appellants on a point of law: R. A. and Others
Defendant at first instance and appellant on a point of law: Luminor Bank AS, acting through Luminor Bank AS Lithuanian Branch
1.Can Article 6(1) and Article 7(1) of Directive 93/13/EEC (1) be interpreted as meaning that, where a consumer expresses the intention to preserve a contract by replacing an unfair term contained therein, a court, after finding that the contract cannot remain valid following the removal of the term found to be unfair, may rule on the issue of replacing the unfair term without first assessing the possibility of annulling the contract in its entirety?
2.Does the answer to the first question depend on whether the national court has the possibility of replacing the unfair term contained in the contract with a supplementary provision or a provision of national law applied by mutual agreement of the parties to the contract in question?
(1) Council Directive 93/13/EEC of 5 April 1993 on unfair terms in consumer contracts (OJ 1993 L 95, p. 29).
