Consumer credit clause invalidity does not extend to contracts between consumer and trader.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe court dismissed the consumer's request to declare the credit contract void based on an abusive conversion clause. While such clauses invalidate consumer-to-consumer agreements, the court held this protection does not apply to contracts between a consumer and a trader. Consequently, the contract remains valid as the specific statutory safeguards for consumer-to-consumer transactions were not triggered.
