Cases from practice

Inclusion in the creditors’ claims register of 10,000,000 RUB

Situation

The Arbitration Court of the Republic of Bashkortostan, Russia, ruled in favor of a Russian-resident LLC against a Belarusian joint-stock company. The wording of the decision was: ‘to recover the penalty for the cost of work performed up to the date of completion of the work.’ The general meeting of shareholders of the joint-stock company decided to liquidate. The liquidator refused to include this penalty in the creditors’ claims register. The problem was that Belarusian legislation does not provide for decisions to be made with a penalty formula without specifying its exact amount.

Work process

The attorney filed a lawsuit on behalf of the LLC to the economic court to compel the liquidator to include the debt in the register. In addition, he provided legal support for the negotiation process between the management of these companies.

Result

During the negotiation process, the parties made mutual concessions and decided to conclude a settlement agreement on the inclusion of a penalty of 10,000,000 Russian rubles in the register. The court’s decision was executed by transferring the debtor’s property to the client’s ownership.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Yes, this is possible, but you need to evaluate the real chances in your case. In order for a decision of a foreign court to work in Belarus, a foreign court must consider the case without violations. For more information on your case, write or call me and we will discuss it at the consultation.

In addition to the amount of the principal debt, you can collect additional interest, penalties, penalties, as well as the cost of state duty and attorney services. The prospect of recovering penalties depends on a number of factors: how the condition on fines is formulated in the contract, whose fault is in the delay, how the acts are drawn up, etc.

For different cases, the cost differs significantly: it depends on the complexity of the task and the time spent on legal support of the dispute. To discuss more specifically, you need to study the details of your situation. To do this, send me detailed information and we will discuss the cost.
