Sorainen has successfully represented a Lithuanian company owned by the U.S.-based W. P. Carey investment fund in a rent dispute against Kesko Senukai Lithuania, resulting in a final ruling from the Supreme Court of Lithuania.
According to Sorainen, the dispute concerned Kesko Senukai Lithuania’s refusal to pay EUR 1.2 million in indexed rent for a logistics center leased from the client. Kesko Senukai argued that changes in the Lithuanian consumer price index justified withholding payments and sought amendments to the lease agreement, citing allegedly unforeseeable changed circumstances. The Supreme Court rejected these arguments in full, confirming that the tenant’s refusal to pay the indexed rent was unfounded and that there were no grounds for altering the contractual terms. The decision is final and brings the case to a definitive close.
The Sorainen team included Partners Kestutis Svirinas and Kestutis Adamonis, Counsel Ieva Rimaviciene, and Senior Associate Domante Lunyte.
