(Case C-173/23, Eventmedia Soluciones)

Language of the case: Spanish

Referring court

Juzgado de lo Mercantil n.º 1 de Palma de Mallorca

Parties to the main proceedings

Applicant: Eventmedia Soluciones SL

Defendant: Air Europa Líneas Aéreas SAU

Questions referred

Must Articles 6(1) and 7(1) of Council Directive 93/13/EEC of 5 April 1993 on unfair terms in consumer contracts ¹ be interpreted as meaning that a national court hearing an action seeking compensation for damage occasioned by delay in the carriage of baggage under Article 19 of the Montreal Convention is required to review of its own motion whether a clause in the contract of carriage that does not allow the passenger to transfer their rights is unfair, where the claim is brought by the transferee[,] who[,] unlike the transferor, is not a consumer or user?

If it is appropriate to carry out a review of the court’s own motion, may the obligation to inform the consumer and establish whether they claim that the clause is unfair or consent to it be disregarded in the light of the conclusive act of having transferred their claim in breach of any unfair term that does not permit the claim to be transferred?
