How to remedy a default under Dutch law?

Short Reads - Under Dutch law, a debtor can remedy a default by offering to perform its obligations at a later date. Such an offer, however, has to include an offer to pay for damages and costs incurred as a result of the default (art. 6:86 DCC). If the creditor refuses to accept an offer that meets such criteria, the creditor will be in default.

Correction for fairness applies in full in case of redress by insurers

Short Reads - On 10 July 2015, the Dutch Supreme Court ruled that in cases of recourse (regres) by insurers, the correction for fairness (billijkheidscorrectie) applies in exactly the same way as it does for the insured party (Achmea/Menzis). Insurers can thus benefit from ‘subjective circumstances’ particular to the insured party. As a result of this judgment, the Dutch Supreme Court has put a stop to a long-lasting discussion amongst Dutch legal scholars on this issue.
