57As the Court held in paragraph 59 of the judgment of 1 October 2015, ERSTE Bank Hungary (C‑32/14, EU:C:2015:637), even where national legislation provides for such a preventive check, adequate and effective means to stop the use of unfair terms in contracts concluded by a seller or supplier with consumers must include provisions enabling the latter to be guaranteed effective judicial protection which makes it possible for them to bring legal proceedings against such a contract, including in the enforcement phase, under reasonable procedural conditions, so that the exercise of their rights is not subject to conditions, in particular time limits or costs, which make it excessively difficult or impossible to exercise the rights guaranteed by Directive 93/13.
