Third Party Liability Towards Mortgagee In Real Estate

CLEMENS is conducting an important case on the extent of a third party's liability to a mortgagee of real estate in connection with the redevelopment of a pig herd.

In a recent judgment, the court in Randers found that a mortgage credit institution could not hold a slaughterhouse liable for damages because the slaughterhouse had received a piglet producer's herd of sows and slaughter pigs for slaughter in connection with the piglet producer's reorganization of the herd.

CLEMENS acted for the slaughterhouse in this important case, which is a practically relevant contribution to understanding the framework of the rights and obligations of the farmer, the mortgagee and third parties in cases where a farmer chooses to reorganize his herd.
