From Vincenzo Roppo’s perspective, the asymmetric bargaining power surrounding both B2B and B2C relations disavows the assumption of parity and equality between parties. In his view, courts should be entitled to amend agreements for the purpose of redressing contractual balance. This neosystematic approach is drawn from the correlation of two different disciplines and provides that courts should have jurisdiction to vary the terms of an agreement whenever consumer protection and/or abuse of economic-dependence concerns come into play. However, with respect to B2B relationships, courts’ power should aim at enforcing competition law principles. On the other hand, in B2C relationships, courts may exercise their powers to the extent needed to achieve consumer-protection purposes. A number of insights can be found in this respect in light of two different examples: billing at 28 days and loan agreements with negative Euribor rates.
