Curacao Court: right of recovery loan agreement

blog27

During the emotional relationship, the parties entered into a financing agreement for the purchase of a joint home. When the relationship ended, the man left the home, with the agreement that the woman would take care of the financial costs of the home. The parties were approached by the lender. The man, assisted by the lawyers of Wildeman Legal, defended himself by stating that the woman should pay the costs in the event that he is ordered to pay the outstanding debt (summons in indemnity). This defense was granted by the Court, which means that the man, if he is ordered to pay, can immediately recover the damages from the woman.
