Abstract

In the framework of the protection of consumer rights, this work addresses the main effects that the jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of the European Union has had on those affected by unfair terms in their mortgage contracts. For this, the existence of two relevant legal effects in said jurisprudence is raised; on the one hand, the reinforcement of the principle of procedural effectiveness in the declaration of nullity of said clauses and, on the other, the end of the uncertainty about the restorative effects that said declaration originates. Thus, after analyzing these effects, the study concludes that said jurisprudence has progressively strengthened consumer protection, contributing to the process of European integration.

Keywords:

European Union, The Court of Justice of The European Union, Consumer Rights, Unfair terms, Mortgage contracts
