School Tuition Refund for Non-Commencement
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAThe appellate court overturned a lower court decision that ordered a school to refund tuition fees to a Chinese student who failed to commence a higher diploma course as agreed, ruling instead that the refund terms stipulated in the school's general terms and conditions applied, which forfeited the fees for non-commencement after the course started. The court reasoned that for an atypical mandate, such as a multi-year educational contract, the mandatory nature of the free termination right under Article 404(1) of the Code of Obligations (OR) should be denied because such an interpretation leads to unreasonable results and contradicts the parties' objective interest in continuity, allowing them instead to contractually agree on consequences for early termination, such as the forfeiture of fees according to the incorporated general terms and conditions.
