November 28 Main results of the day

The Moscow Arbitration Court fully satisfied the Principal’s claim and collected in his favor the debt under the supply agreement in the amount of 28 million rubles. The peculiarity of the project was that the Defendant at the time of consideration of the case was already in the liquidation procedure, and an application for declaring him bankrupt was also being considered in parallel. These circumstances created the risk of leaving the claim without consideration on the merits due to the commencement of the liquidation procedure or the introduction of one of the bankruptcy procedures against the debtor, therefore the Defendant attempted to delay the legal process. The Defendant also announced a reduction in the amount of the collected penalty due to its disproportion to the consequences of the violation of obligations. However, the staff of the Bureau of Lawyers “De jure” managed to convince the court of the groundlessness of the opponents’ objections and put an end to attempts to delay the consideration of the case, achieving a decision already at the second hearing. As a result of the court decision, the Principal will enter the bankruptcy procedure as the main creditor, which significantly increases his chances of repaying the debt. The interests of the Client were represented by Dan Khorolets,  lawyer from the practice of resolving economic disputes of the Bureau of Lawyers “De jure”.
