Contractual Termination After Expiration Deadline Validity Dispute

The case concerns a dispute over the validity of a contractual termination which occurred after the contractual deadline had passed, with one party alleging the termination was invalid due to the lapse of time, while the other maintained the termination was properly executed within a reasonable timeframe following the contract's expiration. The Court of Cassation held that the lower court erred in validating the termination, reasoning that once a contractual term expires, the right to terminate is subject to a reasonable time, and the lower court failed to sufficiently establish that the termination, executed a significant time after the deadline, fell within such a reasonable period, thus warranting the quashing of the decision.
