What should a new store owner do with a voucher?

Questioner

We received a gift voucher for a shop. This shop has been taken over (under the same name) and has a new owner. This owner refuses to accept our voucher. Is he allowed to do this?

Lawyer

Yes, because it may be that he has not included outstanding debts due to certain circumstances, but he must be able to prove this. For the time being, you are now expected to be in good faith and you can redeem the voucher.
