The Moscow Arbitration Court made a decision in favor of our Principal, denying the procedural opponents of the Bureau of Lawyers “De jure” to satisfy the claim for recovery from the Principal of more than 11 million rubles as damages and an additional payment for the cost of the transferred goods. In February 2020, a large consignment of petroleum products was delivered to our Principal as a security for the fulfillment by the supplier and its affiliates of obligations to pay the debt to the Principal. At the same time, any documents were never agreed upon and signed by the parties, in connection with which the Principal, on the recommendation of the lawyers of the Bureau, paid the actual cost of the accepted goods based on the report on its assessment. The supplier first applied to the court with a demand to return the goods, but subsequently waived his claims and filed a new claim for the recovery of an additional payment for the goods and allegedly incurred losses. Lawyers of the Bureau of Lawyers “De jure” proved in court that the Plaintiff abuses his rights by repeatedly applying to the court with similar demands, and that the Plaintiff did not actually suffer losses, and the report submitted by him has significant contradictions and shortcomings. The court, having heard the positions of each of the parties, sided with the Principal and completely refused to satisfy the claim against him. The interests of the Principal in court were represented by Yakov Bulut, lawyer of the Bureau of Lawyers “De jure”.
The Moscow Arbitration Court, having considered a corporate dispute involving our Principal, satisfied his claims and obliged the Defendant to submit all the requested documents, and also collected a court penalty in the amount of 10 thousand rubles for each day of delay in the execution of the court decision. The preparation of the legal position on the case was carried out by Elena Ivanova, senior lawyer of the contractual and legislative practice of the Bureau of Lawyers “De jure”.
