And now he doesn't want to pay for his part of the holiday. He did take out cancellation insurance for himself.\n\n But because the travel agency had to include him on our policy, we had to pay the full amount.\n\n Can we recover his share of what he has to pay from him?\n And is it therefore wise to hire a lawyer?\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n Day,\n\n Yes, that is certainly possible. However, breaking off the relationship is not a valid reason to cancel, I suspect. It is important to weigh the benefits against the costs of a legal dispute. Perhaps I can write a short letter for you on e-mail, you may contact me directly.\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e \nThe ex-boyfriend has two options. He can cancel the travel agreement or he can still use the travel agreement. The latter option does not seem realistic to me in this case, but as Mr. Ferwerda already indicates, breaking off the relationship is not a valid reason to be able to cancel free of charge.\n\n The ex-boyfriend can cancel the travel agreement with the tour operator, but is then liable for the damages of the company. (Article 7:503 paragraph 1 in conjunction with 513 BW). You can therefore advise him to cancel his part of the agreement. First I would contact the tour operator to find out how much of the costs will then be due.\n \nIf this is no longer possible, he must bear the costs of the trip. You can recover the costs of the (cancellation of the) trip from him. I advise you to first try to reach a good agreement in consultation. I advise you to only file a claim if he does not respond to letters or telephone calls. After all, the costs for a lawyer can quickly mount up.\n\n","brand":"Rechtswinkel.nl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55015418036573,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.rechtswinkel.nl\/en\/products\/vragen-23327-we-hebben-een-vakantie-geboekt-voor-4-personen-ik-mijn-vrouw-en-onze-dochter-en-haar-vriend-nu","provider":"Rechtswinkel.nl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
