Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAA dispute arose regarding an agent's unilateral termination of a mandate agreement, where the principal subsequently claimed damages for lost commissions arguing the termination lacked just cause as required by the contract's terms, despite a clause granting the principal the right to terminate at will upon payment of an indemnity; the court upheld the lower court's decision, reasoning that the contractual provision allowing termination upon payment of an indemnity satisfied the requirement for just cause, effectively validating the principal's right to terminate the mandate immediately by fulfilling the stipulated financial obligation, even when the agent contested the cessation of their activity.
