MARKER: The Court made an arithmetic error when making its decision on Stroytransgaz’s claim to Resad

The claim of Stroytransgaz against Resad LLC was partly satisfied on 16 February. The court ruled that the respondent must pay 129.7 million RUR, i.e. approximately 60 times less than the claimed amount. According to a source familiar with the case, the court adjusted its ruling. The court decree of 21 March stated that an arithmetic error had been made when calculating the amounts to be recovered. As a result Resad now has to pay 82 million RUR instead of almost 130 million RUR. Both companies appealed against the decision made by the Arbitration Court of Moscow in February.
