The Notice reflects the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union (hereinafter referred to as ‘CJEU’ or ‘the Court’) on the Directive since its entry into application on 13 June 2014. From its date of application, the Directive replaced Council Directive 85/577/EEC (4) to protect the consumer in respect of contracts negotiated away from business premises and Directive 97/7/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (5) on the protection of consumers in respect of distance contracts. CRD retained certain provisions of the former Directives 85/577/EEC and 97/7/EC. Therefore, the relevant case law of the Court related to the interpretation of those Directives is also referred to in this document where applicable.
