Abstract

In answer to the questions for a preliminary ruling refer from the Supreme Court of Austria, the CJEU rules, in its judgment of 11 November 2020 (C-287/19), that the validity of contractual clause, which provides for possibility of changes the contractual conditions of a framework contract of payment services through tacit consent of user-consumer, has to make under Directive 93/13/EEC and not under articles 52 and 54 of Directive 2015/2366. Furthermore, the CJEU considers that the NFC function of a personalised multifunctional bank card constitutes an anonymous payment instrumen and it’s national courts that have to verify the card doesn’t allow its blocking.
