The dispute concerned the obligation of a lessee to retransfer a milk quota upon termination of a farm lease initiated in 1984, where the original contract did not explicitly mention the quota, although the lessee had taken it over along with the land. The court reasoned that at the time of contracting, the milk quota was statutorily tied to the land area, making it an inseparable unit essential for meaningful operation, and thus considered a right transferred to the lessee under the lease agreement's general provision covering significant rights related to the leased object. Since the lease contract did not specify the quota's return, statutory provisions applied, mandating that the lessee must return the leased object, including the existing milk quota, in its state at the time of return, irrespective of subsequent legal changes allowing quota transfer independent of land.
