CDT legal has assisted the French Fashion Group client, owning leading children clothing brands, through the arbitration concerning the lease for its Italian Flagship store: the brand’s purpose was obtaining the re-negotiation of the lease on more favorable terms, which we got thanks (inter alia) to the requalification of the nature of the lease agreement, as per the essential Italian Supreme Court’s decision on the distinction between the two kinds of commercial lease agreements in Italy (namely “locazione d’immobile” and “affitto di ramo d’azienda”, see https://cdt.legal/leading-supreme-court-s-judgment-on-the-retail-business-law-in-italy/ ).
CDT Legal also assisted the Client in the drafting and negotiation of the settlement obtained, which so covered other three brand’s DOSs.
