Lease termination due to breach by third party does not automatically release lessee from damages liability.

The Supreme Court of Finland ruled that the lessee remained liable for damages after the lease was terminated following the lessor's breach by the third-party seller. Although the lessee had agreed to terminate the contract with the seller and the seller failed to pay the debt, the court found no legal basis to exempt the lessee from their contractual obligations. The decision established that a lessee cannot avoid liability for lease termination damages merely because the lessor's rights were compromised by a third party's breach.
