Debt collection at the expense of the debtor’s car, reissued to another person

Situation

The court of Smolensk, Russia, in favor of the client’s children, was collected compensation for moral damage from a woman from Belarus. The debtor had no money or property. The court’s decision was not executed, the money was not received.

The Attorney conducted an inspection and found out that during the consideration of the case by the Smolensk court, the debtor had reissued her Mercedes car to another person. Therefore, the attorney filed a lawsuit with the Minsk district court to establish the fact of the nullity of the transactions and accompanied the client in court. At the trial, the attorney argued that the debtor did not really sell the car, but issued them fictitiously to her friend.

Result

The court satisfied the claim and declared the transactions invalid. The car returned to the debtor’s ownership, after which they were sold at auction by a bailiff. The proceeds from the sale went to the client.
