(Request for a preliminary ruling from the Sqd Okregowy w Warszawie  (Regional Court, Warsaw,
                                           Poland))


     (Reference for a preliminary ruling - Consumer  protection -  Directive 93/13/EEC  -
Unfair terms in consumer  contracts - Article 6(1) and Article 7(1) - Mortgage loan agreement
  indexed to a foreign currency - Consumer's  application for a declaration of invalidity of the
  contract  -  Application for interim measures seeking suspension of the performance of the
    contract -  Interim measures  - Directive 2014/59/EU  -  Bank Recovery  and Resolution
  Directive (BRRD)  -  Bank under  resolution - Article 34(1)(b) and (g) - General principles
     governing  resolution - No  creditor worse off principle - Article 47 of the Charter of
          Fundamental   Rights of the European Union  - Effective judicial protection)

1. This request for a preliminary ruling concerns the interpretation of Article 6(1) and Article 7(1)
of Council Directive 93/13/EEC   of 5 April 1993 on  unfair terms in consumer  contracts,2 and
Article 34(1)(b) and (g) and Article 70(1) and (4) of Directive 2014/59/EU,3 which established a
framework   for  the recovery  and  resolution  of credit  institutions and  investment  firms
('institutions').

2. The request has been made  in proceedings between OF, El and RI ('the applicants'), on the one
hand, and M.K.,  the liquidator of Getin Noble Bank S.A., on the other. The applicants, who are
consumers,  concluded  a  mortgage  loan agreement   indexed to  Swiss francs (CHF)  with  the
defendant bank, and to date have not paid all the agreed instalments. They brought an action for
annulment   of that contract before the referring court, on the ground that it contained unfair
terms. While those proceedings were ongoing, Getin Noble  Bank was placed under  resolution.
