Seller's Representative Payment Dispute
France (FR)
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAA contract stipulated that the seller, after delivering goods, had the right to collect payment through a third-party representative, but the buyer, arguing that this representation violated a contract clause requiring direct payment to the seller, refused to pay the representative, leading to a dispute over the enforceability of the payment method; the court ruled that the contractual provision regarding payment through a representative did not constitute a stipulation for the benefit of the third party because the seller maintained the right to payment, and thus the buyer's refusal to pay the designated representative was unjustified, upholding the obligation to pay as stipulated.
