September 26, Fineko/abc.az. The Commercial Board of the Supreme Court has made an important decision in the case of destruction of equipment used under the lease agreement.

ABC.AZ informs that the decision states that in cases where the leased item is destroyed beyond the will and control of the lessee, as a result of objective reasons, including during the war, the lessee is not obligated to continue lease payments for this property.

According to the circumstances of the case, the plaintiff appealed to the court of first instance, stating that the equipment acquired by the livestock complex on the basis of leasing agreements concluded with JSC had become completely unusable as a result of shells fired during the Second Karabakh War, and demanded to deduct from the general obligations the lease payments accrued on this property after September 27, 2020. when the war started. The plaintiff argued that the destruction of the leased item was also confirmed by an inventory report drawn up by the defendant's employees.
