Legislator summary

The court ordered Shoe-life B.V. to pay Rieker Schuh AG the outstanding invoice amount plus interest and procedural costs. While the defendant admitted the debt, it argued for payment only after securing new premises and claimed damages due to competitor pricing near its store. The court rejected the reconventional claim to remove the defendant from a supplier credit blacklist, ruling that the credit insurer's refusal to insure orders based on existing arrears was not the supplier's responsibility.

Art. 6:119 BW; Art. 6:162 BW: A creditor is entitled to claim payment of outstanding invoices and interest, but a supplier cannot compel a credit insurance company to insure future orders solely because the debtor has existing arrears with that insurer.
