Recovering Financial Contributions Guide

Summary

If your business venture agreement lacks a clause for returning financial contributions, Cypriot law considers equity and fairness, focusing on the agreements terms and contributions nature. If the agreement states finances wont be returned, this clause is likely upheld. However, you can challenge it by demonstrating its unjust nature or undue hardship. In Dutch law, similar principles apply, especially if you donated property to a foundation. Consulting a lawyer familiar with both jurisdictions is advisable to explore your options.
