COMMISSION NOTICE Guidance on the interpretation and application of Council Directive 93/13/EEC on unfair terms in consumer contracts · European Union
In relation to extrajudicial enforcement of a lien (431), the Court took into account that a sale by auction could be contested within 30 days of the notice of enforcement of the charge and that consumers had a period of three months following the public auction to take steps. Furthermore, interim measures were available to suspend or terminate the enforcement during the substantive assessment. On that basis, the Court concluded that the legislation in question did not make it excessively difficult for consumers to rely on protection under the UCTD.
