Extended data outage compensation case:

Power failure 105 days when the leased house opened a branch, resulting in operating losses. Dicos Food Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Dicos") sued the lessor to Fengtai Court for compensation. Fengtai Court finally partially supported Dicos' appeal.

Dicos said that after it signed a contract with Pengcheng Feng Wan Trading Company at the end of June 38, 2009, both parties fulfilled their contractual obligations. However, on February 20, 20 12, the trading company suddenly sent a letter to inform that other owners were in arrears with electricity charges, which affected the payment to the power supply bureau and stopped power supply.

During the power outage on 105, Dicos had to rent temporary generators to maintain its business, resulting in huge economic losses. Dicos asked the trading company to compensate for the losses caused by the power outage, amounting to nearly 400,000 yuan.

The trading company claimed that the power outage was caused by Dicos' arrears in rent, but it did not agree with its claim before its breach of contract. After hearing the case, the court held that the failure of the trading company to ensure the normal electricity consumption of the leased site during the performance of the contract constituted a breach of contract and should bear the liability for breach of contract. The trading company should compensate Dicos for the cost of renting generators.

In the end, the court ruled that the trading company compensated Dicos for 90,000 yuan.
