Abstract
The Court of Justice had to decide on the transparency of information on the right of withdrawal in consumer credit law. Under German law, the creditor could describe the start of the withdrawal period by mere reference to a legal provision which then referred to other legal provisions which the consumer then had to interpret, which the Court of Justice considered to be lacking in transparency. In the background, there was a conflict between the referring court and the German Federal Supreme Court on the legal competence of the average consumer that the Court of Justice decided in favour of the referring court.
