Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAA lessee, operating a commercial establishment, sought indemnity from the lessor after the lease was terminated following the sale of the building, arguing that the sale constituted an eviction, but the appellate court found no fault with the lessor because the lease explicitly stipulated that the lessee assumed the risk of eviction in the event of a sale, and the court of cassation upheld this decision, reasoning that the stipulation validly waived the lessee's right to indemnity, as this right is not a matter of public order and can be contractually excluded.
