“We will try to convince the court that justice should be done not just for those on behalf of which we have intervened so far, but for all the clients whose contracts include the same clause,” Nica said at the Mediafax Talks about Competition conference.
He said class action suits could have erga omnes effects, meaning the legal sentence would be applicable to all contracts signed by a specific service provider.
Nica said ANPC has ongoing suits against all commercial banks in Romania, except for one.
Romanian consumers can file class action lawsuits over potentially abusive clauses introduced by service providers, including banks, as of October 1.
