Cancellation of loan agreement and requirements of reasonableness and fairness in the Netherlands

The basic principle of Dutch contract law is that agreements that have been concluded are binding. However, under certain circumstances, a court may intervene in agreements between the parties. One of the reasons for this can be the requirements of reasonableness and fairness. An old judgment in preliminary relief proceedings regarding a dispute between the municipality of Utrecht and a party to whom it had given a site on loan illustrates how the requirements of reasonableness and fairness can turn out. Dutch contract law lawyer Hein Hoogendoorn explains what happened in this situation and how the court in preliminary relief proceedings looked at the termination of the loan agreement.
