Whether operational debt and default existed: the tribunal found invoices for supply of 346 units undisputedly delivered, partial payments accepted without quality/quantity or pricing objections, and an outstanding unpaid balance of €1,28,204.70 - therefore default on an operational debt that was due and payable was established.
