The appellate court mandated that the Sverdlovsk region reimburse the contractor with 30 million rubles.
The Seventeenth Appeal Arbitration Court dismissed the appeal lodged by the Highway Department of the Sverdlovsk Region.
The appellant failed to contest the levy of 30 million rubles. These funds must be transferred to «Uralstroymontazh» LLC (USM, Nizhny Tagil), as indicated on the «Electronic Justice» portal.
The entity performed refurbishment on a segment of the & to Nizhny Tagil route. The enterprise did not finalize the project. Owing to difficulties in adhering to the stipulated timeframe, its services were terminated. The agreement’s valuation was 88.1 million rubles. The state institution pointed out that the firm executed work valued at 3.2 million rubles.
USM demonstrated in the initial court that it fulfilled obligations amounting to 30 million rubles. Concurrently, a considerable quantity of imperfections surfaced on the road’s surface post-construction – cavities, fissures, and settling. Following an assessment, the tribunal declared that the flaws originated due to the client’s culpability, specifically an “incorrect selection of repair methodology.” The higher court upheld the judgment without amendments; the detailed rationale is still pending release. Alexey Golyashchenko is the managing director, according to «Kontur.Focus». An initial insolvency proceeding has been initiated regarding the company. «Pravda UrFO» has also reported on the entity’s disputes with collaborators and the Nizhny Tagil administration.
