(22) Article 47 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union ensures the right to a fair and public hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal and the possibility of being advised, defended and represented by a lawyer. That can be of particular relevance for the full and complete understanding of all the issues and legal arguments being addressed and to ensure comprehensive preparation of court representation for the case in dispute. Borrowers who lack sufficient resources should be able to resort to legal aid, where that is necessary to ensure effective access to justice and under the conditions laid down by the applicable national laws.
