Legislator summary

AI generated

The court declared the capital effect lease contract void due to the plaintiff's minority and lack of court authorization. While the plaintiff was awarded repayment of principal plus interest from the date of the demand letter, the claim for collection costs was rejected as insufficiently substantiated. Consequently, the defendant was ordered to pay the principal and interest but not the additional collection expenses.

Articles 3:304 BW; Article 6:205 BW: A contract entered into by a minor without court authorization is voidable; upon voidance, restitution is required, but statutory interest on restitution begins only upon the debtor's default following a formal demand.
