Our Managing Partner Najib Hage-Chahine discusses the complex issues arising out of the payment of debts denominated in a foreign currency in a piece that was published by SADER Legal (since 1863).
The article analyses the existing case law on the matter and highlights three specific issues:
- The validity of contractual clauses that require the payment of a debt in a foreign currency.
- The possibility for the debtor to pay in national currency.
- The determination of the applicable exchange rate if the debtor is able to pay in national currency.
