CJUE – The sale of SIM cards on which services that can incur fees have been pre-loaded and pre-activated constitutes an aggressive unfair commercial practice when the consumers are not informed of that fact in advance. Such conduct constitutes, in particular, «inertia selling», which may be penalised by a national authority other than the authority provided for by EU law on electronic communications. (Judgment C-54/17)
