On 8 June the court will review the claim of Stroytransgz JSC against Resad LLC

06.06.2011

Initially the claimant asked the court to recover 1.763 billion RUR, but on 16 February the arbitration court satisfied the claim only in part. Moreover, the court of first instance dismissed Resad’s counterclaim for 703.6 million RUR (the claimed amount included an unspent advance payment with interest and damages).

Both the claimant and the respondent appealed against this decision.

On Wednesday the appeals instance postponed the hearing so that the parties could finalize the calculations related to their claims and itemize their positions in the dispute.

As follows from the case-related materials, the claims of Stroytransgaz are based on the construction contract dated 23 March 2009. In July 2010 Resad terminated the contract for the reason of the failure of Stroytransgaz to comply with the customer’s instructions and with the timescales for the execution of project documentation and supply of equipment. In its claim Stroytransgaz demands that Resad pays for the project documentation and the installation works. The initial claimed amount was 7.699 billion RUR, but was later lowered.
