The Moscow Arbitration Court issued a ruling refusing to recognize auctions of property worth more than 60 million rubles as invalid. The winner of the auction was the Bureau’s Principal. During the trial, the court agreed with the arguments of the Bureau’s lawyers that the bidding procedure was carried out without violations of the bidding procedure, and the circle of potential buyers was not and could not be reduced due to the actions of the auction organizer.

The interests of the Principal were represented by Daria Ivanova, senior lawyer of the “Bureau of Lawyers “De jure”.

Double reason to be proud!

In the court of appeal, we managed to defend our victory dated March 12, 2024 in the Arbitration Court of Moscow and enforce the judicial act on satisfying the application of the Principal of the Bureau, who was the collateral creditor in the bankruptcy case, to resolve disagreements with the bankruptcy trustee regarding the imposition on the Principal of payment costs of income tax and rent in the amount of more than 70 million rubles when leaving the collateral property behind.

The appellate court agreed with the position of the Bureau that retaining the subject of pledge is a form of sale of the pledged property along with its sale at auction, and an agreement to retain the subject of pledge is an analogue of a purchase and sale agreement.

The interests of the Principal were represented by Ivan Bychkov and Viktor Pokormyak, attorneys of the “Bureau of Lawyers “De jure”, and Alexandra Reznichenko, senior lawyer.
