The Arbitration Court of the Moscow District refused to satisfy the procedural opponent in satisfaction of the cassation complaint, leaving unchanged the judicial acts of the lower courts on the refusal to collect from the Principal the debt for the payment of works recognized by the court as additional and not payable. The court agreed with the position of the Bureau of Lawyers “De jure” that the works specified in the unilateral act were not agreed upon by the parties in the contract, and therefore, in the absence of an additional agreement on the production of additional works, such works are not subject to payment, and hence the requirement for the recovery of works was not subject to satisfaction. In addition, the court of cassation noted that the reduction by the lower courts, at the request of the lawyers of the Bureau, of the penalty for late payment of accepted works by six times is lawful. The interests of the Principal were represented by Maria Ovchinnikova, Head of the Department of Legal Support of Contractual and Judicial Work.
