Our client, a professional trading stable, purchased a jumping horse from an amateur rider. The horse became very ill within a few days after delivery and after several veterinary examinations on the clinic it appeared that the horse suffered from kidney cancer. The seller of the horse didn’t want to discuss a reasonable solution so our client started a lawsuit against the amateur seller. The judge of the Court Noord-Nederland didn’t need a lot of time to make up her mind and we received the verdict only 4 weeks (April 15th) after the court hearing. All her claims are awarded and the counterparty must refund a.o. the complete purchase price, veterinary costs and legal costs.
