The court ruled in favor of Zilveren Kruis, ordering the defendant to pay the remaining insurance arrears of €767.62 plus interest and legal costs. The defendant argued for an installment plan, but the court found no legal basis to compel the insurer to accept partial payments under Article 6:29 of the Civil Code. Consequently, the defendant was held liable for the full outstanding debt and the plaintiff's litigation expenses.
