Legal tip 1180. NEW! Europe says debtors in Spain CANNOT be repossessed if fighting against floor clause
Monday, July 21, 2014 @ 3:09 PM

A recent Court Decission by European Court of Justice ( July 17th) establishes that any claimer on Floor Clause in Spain can oppose the Bank trying to enforce a mortgage debt against the floored-mortgaged asset on the existence of this procedure so no embargo can be decided/ practised over it till the Floor case is finished.

This is, literally, the Decission paragraph by the European Court of Justice:

El artículo 7, apartado 1, de la Directiva 93/13/CEE del Consejo, de 5 de abril de 1993, sobre las cláusulas abusivas en los contratos celebrados con consumidores, en relación con el artículo 47 de la Carta de los Derechos Fundamentales de la Unión Europea, debe interpretase en el sentido de que se opone a un sistema de procedimientos de ejecución, como el controvertido en el litigio principal, que establece que el procedimiento de ejecución hipotecaria no podrá ser suspendido por el juez que conozca del proceso declarativo, juez que, en su resolución final, podrá acordar a lo sumo una indemnización que compense el perjuicio sufrido por el consumidor, en la media en que éste, en su condición de deudor ejecutado, no puede recurrir en apelación contra la resolución mediante la que se desestime su oposición a la ejecución, mientras que el profesional, acreedor ejecutante, sí puede interponer recurso de apelación contra la resolución que acuerde el sobreseimiento de la ejecución o declare la inaplicación de una cláusula abusiva.

Provision 7, paragraph 1, of Directive 93/13/CEE of the Council, dated 5th of April 1993, on abusive clauses in contracts with consumers, in relation to provision 47 of Chart of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, must be interpreted as against system of enforcement of procedures, as the one which is decided in this case, which affirms that the mortgage enforcement procedure cannot be suspended by the Judge deciding on the declarative procedure, Judge who, in its final decission might be set a  damages compensation as the most. 

The consumer, as enforced debtor cannot appeal against the decission rejecting its opposition to the enforcement, opposedly, the enforcer, a professional, can appeal the decission which declares abusive character of clauses or dismiss the enforcement.
