Germany has never furnished any proof that the environmental hazards had still not been removed when the assets were purchased by Kahla I. Even if this were the case, the acquirer might reasonably be expected to have verified that the assets were free of this type of hazard.
Saksamaa ei ole esitanud tõendeid, et varade Kahla I-lt ostmise ajal olid keskkonnaohud veel kõrvaldamata. Isegi kui see nii oli, oleks olnud mõistlik eeldada, et varade omandaja on kontrollinud, kas varad on sellistest ohtudest vabad.
