Language of the case: Spanish
Referring court
Juzgado de Primera Instancia No 2 de Santander
Parties to the main proceedings
Applicant: Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria SA
Defendant: Fernando Quintano Ujeta, María Isabel Sánchez García
Operative part of the order
Articles 6 and 7 of Council Directive 93/13/EEC of 5 April 1993 on unfair terms in consumer contracts must be interpreted, first, as precluding an accelerated repayment clause of a mortgage loan contract that has been found to be unfair from being maintained in part, with the elements which make it unfair removed by a national court. However, they do not preclude the national court from remedying the invalidity of such an unfair term, the wording of which is based on a legislative provision which is applicable where the parties to the contract so agree, by replacing that term with the new wording of that legislative provision as amended after the conclusion of the mortgage loan contract, where the contract in question cannot continue in existence if that unfair term is removed, and that the annulment of the contract in its entirety would expose the consumer to particularly unfavourable consequences.
