The Ninth Arbitration Court of Appeal upheld the court’s decision to reject the claim to recover from the Principal a debt for work performed in an amount exceeding 2.5 million rubles. The subcontractor filed an appeal against the decision of the court of first instance, which refused to recover the debt for the work from our Principal, intending to prove in the appeal the fact of completion of the work in the declared volume and their delivery to the contractor, and presented additional evidence to the court of appeal. But the lawyers of the Bureau of Lawyers “De jure” refuted the arguments of the procedural opponent and justified the lack of grounds for recognizing the fact that the work was completed and, as a result, the absence of the Principal’s obligation to pay for it. They focused on the need to prove the completion of work not only by acts in the KS-2 form, but also by the availability of executive documentation confirming its transfer to the contractor. As a result of numerous questions from the court, asked during the consideration of the appeal, voicing the positions of the parties, the court agreed with the position of the Bureau of Lawyers “De jure” and left the decision of the court of first instance unchanged. The interests of the Principal were represented by Maria Ovchinnikova, Head of the Department of Legal Support for Contractual and Judicial Work of the Bureau of Lawyers “De jure”.

The Arbitration Court of the Ryazan region established the Principal’s claims against his debtor in the amount of over 1 million rubles, as secured by collateral. Careful preparation of the evidence base allowed the lawyers of the Bureau of Lawyers “De jure” to include the debt in the register of creditors’ claims as soon as possible, without raising doubts about their validity either from the court or from other participants in the case. The interests of the Principal were represented by Ksenia Stikhina, senior lawyer of the Tyumen branch of the Bureau of Lawyers “De jure”.
