ANOTHER CASE WON!
OUR CLIENT SAVES THE HOUSE! The Court rules on the consequences of invalid accelerated repayment clauses in mortgages and declares the dismissal of the mortgage enforcement proceedings.
On 11 September 2019, the Spanish Supreme Court delivered a landmark judgment resolving one of the most disputed issues relating to mortgage loans in Spain. The question was regarding the consequences when clauses that allow lenders to accelerate loans upon failure to pay just one or more instalments are declared unfair and, consequently, null and void under Council Directive 93/13/EEC of 5 April 1993 on unfair terms in consumer contracts. This issue has, in fact, a serious impact on the way mortgage loans have been unduly enforced by many Spanish Banks over the past few years.
Consequently, our client was also sued by the bank, but after a fierce battle in Court, we have managed to declare the enforcement process and the mortgage null and void, which in practical terms, means that our client has been able to save the house. We enclose below photograph of the Judgment for your perusal.
Finally, please see below the kind testimonial just received from our client when she heard the news (both in its original Spanish version and its translation into English):
Buenos días Oscar;
