February 10 Main results of the day

The Moscow Arbitration Court satisfied the claims of the Company for the recovery of the unworked advance payment from the counterparty. Despite the fact that the Bureau of Lawyers “De jure” represented a third party in the dispute, it took a more active part in the consideration of the case than the Plaintiff, since the Bureau is the representative of the former General Director of the Company, which is currently in bankruptcy proceedings. Even the fact that the Plaintiff announced that the limitation period had been missed did not prevent the satisfaction of the claims, since the Bureau managed to convince the court that the limitation period on claims for recovery of unjustified enrichment in the form of an unworked advance payment begins from the moment of sending a notice of refusal from the work contract. Thanks to the actions of the Bureau, as well as the assistance of the bankruptcy trustee of the Plaintiff, it was possible to recover about 3.7 million rubles in favor of the Company, which will make it possible to replenish the bankruptcy estate of the bankrupt Plaintiff, as well as reduce the amount of subsidiary liability of the former General Director, in case of filing such an application. The interests of the client of the Bureau were represented by senior lawyer Ekaterina Bulygina.
