A state agency presented our client with a fine of RUB 13.6m. Receiving such a "gift" just before the holidays was doubly unpleasant.
Before the ruling on administrative liability was issued, our lawyers prepared a sound position which we planned to use in court. However, the state agency, having familiarized itself with the arguments presented, came to the conclusion that the court would most likely significantly reduce the amount of the fine, so it independently reduced the fine to RUB 300,000.
Our lawyers’ professional knowledge and experience along with their prompt response and ability to correctly present the position as well as, of course, a New Year's miracle all influenced the outcome of the case. We not only reduced the fine by a factor of 45 (!) but also helped the client avoid litigation.
The project team was led by Principal Associate Tatiana Kandrina.
We wholeheartedly congratulate our colleagues on their success with the outcome of the case!
