In its judgment of April 14, 2015, the Constitutional Tribunal has declared unconstitutional the provisions that entitle banks to enforce their claims skipping the court hearing upon the Bank Enforcement Title.
According to the Tribunal, the right to issue the Bank Enforcement Title is a privilege of the banks which violates the principle of equal treatment and leads to discrimination not only of bank’s debtors, but also of other creditors of these debtors.
At the same time the Tribunal postponed the entry into force of the judgment. It means that the provisions are formally still in force and the banks may use them until the end of July 2016.
