Catchwords

This action concerned the recovery of outstanding rental and restoration costs arising from the lease of 82 tank containers under a Principal Lease Agreement governed by Dutch law. The plaintiff, as assignee under an Asset Purchase Agreement dated 30.04.2019, claimed unpaid rental and repair costs. The defendant challenged the plaintiff’s locus standi and contended that Malaysian law applied. The Court held that Dutch law governed the substantive issues pursuant to an earlier ruling and found that the assignment was valid under Article 6.159 of the Dutch Civil Code. The plaintiff succeeded in recovering USD 247,157.50 in outstanding rental with interest. However, the claim for restoration and surveyor costs was dismissed for failure to prove actual loss incurred.
