1. Q: I returned a certain good on the first day of the month and credit notes for this good were issued on the 15th day of the same month. When does the interest for the delayed owner’s payment start to take effect?
A: We assume that the answer of this question depends on the terms set in the contract, signed by the two parties. These two options are feasible:
a) If the contract foresees sanctions (like interest, penalty for breaking a contract) for not fulfilling the terms of this contract regarding the delivery, then the sanction should come into action at the day the delivery should have been made, but in fact it wasn’t, because there was a claim for this good and it was returned, meaning there was no delivery.
b) If the contract foresees a sanction (interest) for a delayed payment, then the interest should be formed from the date on you paid the amount to the date it was returned to you.
In this case the regulations from articles 79 and the following, from the Obligations and Contracts act, should come into action. Regarding the actual applying of these regulations a law assistance should be called and your relations with the supplier arranged in compliance with the contract and the law.
