When contracts including a

Application pratique:

Under the principle of interdependent contracts, the voidance of the main sale contract means the finance lease can also be set aside. However, you must first obtain a court ruling that the sale is void and then apply for the lease to lapse. Do not unilaterally stop paying instalments; continue until a judge confirms the lease’s termination to avoid being in default.

Application pratique:

Collective proceedings do not automatically terminate ongoing contracts. The maintenance contract remains valid unless the court-appointed administrator decides to continue it or a judge orders its termination. You must seek a court ruling if you wish to end it; the finance lease itself is unaffected. Keep fulfilling your obligations under both contracts to avoid penalties.

Application pratique:

The finance lease depends on the valid completion of the purchase contract. If the developer’s insolvency leads to the sale being avoided by a court, the lease will lapse due to interdependence. However, judicial reorganisation does not automatically cancel the sale; it may still proceed if the court allows. Monitor the process and, if the sale is voided, formally notify the lessor and seek a judicial declaration of the lease’s lapse.
