The Ninth Arbitration Court of Appeal upheld the decision of the court of first instance, which satisfied the Principal’s application for declaring his debtor bankrupt. This dispute is notable for the fact that a special procedure was applied to the debtor – bankruptcy of an absent debtor (bankruptcy proceedings are introduced, bypassing the supervision procedure). Employees of the Bureau of Lawyers “De jure” were able to provide convincing evidence of the presence of all the circumstances necessary for applying the special procedure and did not allow the debtor to unreasonably delay the consideration of the bankruptcy application. The Principal’s interests were represented by Nikita Filippov, Head of the Bureau of Lawyers “De jure”, and Nikolay Polusitov, Senior Lawyer.

The Tenth Arbitration Court of Appeal refused a creditor affiliated with the debtor to satisfy his appeal. Within the framework of this dispute, the lawyers of the Bureau of Lawyers “De jure”, representing the interests of the applicant in the bankruptcy case, proved to the court that the creditor abused his rights when making transactions on the basis of which he sought to be included in the register of creditors’ claims. With this victory, the Bureau’s lawyers managed to prevent the blurring of the list of the debtor’s claims and preserve the Principal’s position as a majority creditor in the bankruptcy case. The preparation of the legal position on the case was carried out by Ksenia Stikhina, senior lawyer of the Tyumen branch of the Bureau of Lawyers “De jure”, the interests of the Principal in court were represented by Ivan Bychkov, lawyer, head of the Tyumen branch of the Bureau of Lawyers “De jure”.
