In its decision (No. 24/2nd commercial department) of 12
September 2013, the Supreme Cassation Court of Bulgaria comprehensively expressed
its opinion on the substantive legal aspects of the economic adverse change
clause[1] and ruled on the termination of a lease agreement on this ground.
According to the decision, a fundamental change of the circumstances could lead
to early termination of an agreement if such change was not caused by any of
the parties and neither of them was able to predict it at signing, as well as
if further force and effect of the agreement are contrary to the principles of
justice and the bona fide rules. The decision is of major importance, since it
marks the first time that a long-term lease agreement has been terminated by
court ruling due to an economic adverse change. read more...
