COBALT successfully represented a client in a landmark Supreme Court dispute concerning the interpretation and enforceability of a marital property agreement.
The case addressed fundamental questions on which Estonian Supreme Court practice had been largely undeveloped, including the permissible scope of marital property agreements, the principles governing their interpretation, and the criteria for distinguishing a marital property agreement from a gift contract or other obligation under the law of obligations.
The Supreme Court’s ruling provided authoritative guidance that is expected to shape future practice in this area of family and private wealth law. Decision is available here: https://www.riigikohus.ee/et/lahendid?asjaNr=2-17-17756/159
