Automatic Lease Termination Without Notice Invalidated
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAA contractual stipulation providing for the automatic termination of a lease agreement upon the lessee's failure to perform a specific obligation, without prior formal notice, was deemed invalid by the court because such a clause constitutes a *clause résolutoire* which, under general law, requires formal notice to the defaulting party before the contract can be dissolved, and the parties' agreement to dispense with this requirement could not override the mandatory legal formality designed to protect the debtor.
