COMMISSION NOTICE Guidance on the interpretation and application of Council Directive 93/13/EEC on unfair terms in consumer contracts · European Union
The Court has referred to a two-week time-limit to object to a payment order based on a promissory note as a ‘brief period’ (437). It considered this period to be particularly problematic where the defendant has to organise his defence within these two weeks by submitting all his complaints and adducing facts and evidence.
