The case against Camelot launched by 28 tenants has been ongoing for years. As Cursor reported previously, the residents started the case because they were confronted with high service costs that didn’t seem to make any sense and that Camelot couldn’t justify through invoices or reasoning. The municipal rental committee sided with the tenants, but Camelot didn’t agree with its position. A court case ensued.

The past months have already seen a hearing, as well as huge stacks of files being submitted by both parties. This has led to the issuing of an intermediate judgement, which means the judge hasn’t made a final decision on the case. A judgement like this is often used to decide on the continuation of the proceedings, which could take the form of an oral procedure, allocation of the burden of proof to one of the parties or the appointment of an expert. The case was already subjected to an oral procedure before, followed by a written one. As mentioned above, another oral hearing has now been scheduled, to take place at the Eindhoven court building at 9:30 AM on November 24. This will be an opportunity for the tenants involved to comment orally on the written defense by Camelot. Cursor will continue to follow the case.

Cursor already published several pieces on the dubious service and repair costs, as well as on the bills that tenants received and that, in addition to seeming very large, didn’t always meet the legal requirements for invoices.
