Legislator summary

AI generated

The court dismissed the consumer's claim alleging a violation of good morals due to a currency denomination clause. The plaintiff argued the clause caused an unjustified imbalance, yet the court noted the foreign currency loan was significantly more favorable than the available złoty alternative at the time of signing. Consequently, the court ruled that no violation of consumer interests occurred because the borrower had a clear financial incentive to choose the foreign currency option.

Nie można mówić o jakimkolwiek (a nie tylko rażącym) naruszeniu interesów, w tym ekonomicznych, konsumenta, jeżeli nawet klauzula naruszająca dobre obyczaje powodowała nieusprawiedliwioną dysproporcję praw i obowiązków banku i kredytobiorcy, w sytuacji, gdy kredyt waloryzowany czy denominowany do waluty obcej, w czasie zawierania umowy, był wyraźnie, jednoznacznie, finansowo znacznie korzystniejszy od kredytu złotowego, równie dostępnego kredytobiorcom.
