Key legal question
Whether the lessee owed rent-like compensation after contract termination due to a factual contractual relationship or post-contractual competition ban.
Extracted holding
No. A post-contractual duty to pay the agreed lease rent could not be based on a factual contractual relationship or an implied competition ban.
Extracted reasoning
In a business lease, the lessee must return the leased business, including immaterial values and customer information, but that duty does not extend to a general prohibition on contacting former customers after termination. The lower court's theory of a factual contractual relationship was rejected.
