Dutch Supreme Court dismisses appeal where delivery by third party counts as acknowledgment of debt under contract.

The Supreme Court of the Netherlands dismissed the appeal by Special Sports Amstelveen against the lower court's judgment. The court held that the delivery of fitness equipment by a third party, Power Plate International, constituted a valid acknowledgment of debt owed by Special Sports Amstelveen to Pellikaan. The court reasoned that Special Sports Amstelveen's conduct in allowing this delivery demonstrated it bore the responsibility for fulfilling the contractual obligations, thereby interrupting the statute of limitations. Consequently, the lower court's finding that the debt was acknowledged was deemed legally sound and not subject to cassation.
