The Common Court of Justice upheld its previous interim ruling, ordering the Land of Curaçao and the housing foundation to jointly pay damages to the tenants. The court found that while the foundation conducted significant demolition work, the tenants' property had also required repairs, leading to a calculated loss of use. Consequently, the court awarded a total of 119,278.80 Aruban florins plus interest and legal costs to the plaintiffs.
