51Thus, since Article 2(b) of Directive 93/13 is not a provision which must be interpreted strictly and in view of the ratio legis of that directive to protect consumers in the event of unfair contract terms, the strict interpretation of the concept of ‘consumer’ adopted in Gruber for the purposes of determining the scope of the derogating jurisdictional rules laid down in Articles 13 to 15 of the Brussels Convention in the case of a dual purpose contract cannot be extended, by analogy, to the concept of ‘consumer’ within the meaning of Article 2(b) of Directive 93/13.
