In the Haut-Doubs, the Jura and the Territoire de Belfort, many cross-border workers employed in the Swiss Jura Arc financed their homes with a Swiss franc loan. The lasting rise of the franc against the euro has increased their debt.
The firm checks whether the bank provided sufficient information on exchange-rate risk when the loan was offered, and whether the action is still open under the limitation rules. It also acts where the loan has already been repaid or renegotiated.
Disputes fall within the jurisdiction of the Judicial Courts of Besançon, Montbéliard, Lons-le-Saunier or Belfort, and on appeal of the Besançon Court of Appeal.
