The First Court of Appeal of General Jurisdiction dismissed the complaint of the Government of the Moscow City and the Department of Economic Policy and Development of the Moscow City, and the earlier decision to satisfy the requirements of the Principal remained unchanged. Within the framework of this dispute, lawyers of the Bureau of Lawyers “De jure” managed to refute all the arguments of state bodies about the need to determine the tax base for a building owned by the Principal at its cadastral value. Lawyers of the Bureau also proved the incorrectness of the calculation made by the Moscow Government. As a result, first the Moscow City Court, and then the higher court instance agreed with the validity of the claims stated by the Principal and invalidated certain provisions of the decree of the Moscow Government. The interests of the Principal were represented by Irina Novikova, senior lawyer of the Bureau of Lawyers “De jure”.
The Ninth Arbitration Court of Appeal upheld the ruling of the court of first instance and refused to satisfy the appeals of opponents who were trying to complete the bankruptcy proceedings in the absence of legal grounds. The Bureau managed to prove that the opponents, appealing against the ruling on the extension of the bankruptcy proceedings, abuse their procedural rights and act in violation of the legislation of the Russian Federation. The interests of the Principal were represented by Marina Nikolaenko, head of practice at the Bureau of Lawyers “De jure”.
