Ernesto Benito Sancho and Miguel Pérez-Vera, partner and lawyer in the Litigation and Arbitration Department of RRBS Legal, analyse in an opinion article in Expansión On-line the problems arising from the latest court decisions in relation to applications for precautionary measures filed by tenants in business leases affected by the closures as a consequence of the situation created by the Covid-19 pandemic.
In recent months, there have been countless queries and more or less authoritative opinions regarding the impact of the situation created by Covid-19 on the obligation to pay rents for business premises, especially in the hospitality and tourism sector, areas where the impact of the crisis has been particularly devastating.
Our lawyers review the most recent court decisions on the matter and conclude that until the public authorities take a step forward, in the form of direct aid and relief from the tax burden that economic actors continue to suffer, the battle will be fought in the courts and not always in accordance with the rules of the game known to date, even involving, in the shape of millionaire claims of patrimonial responsibility, those public authorities that want to pass the “hot potato” to our courts.
