Our cases

Commercial dispute

Enquiry:

The client is a construction company that carried out construction work under a contract, the client for which was another Ukrainian company. After the work was completed, the client refused to sign the certificates of completion, claiming that the contract price for the work and materials – which had been increased in accordance with the technical specifications approved by the client – had not been signed by an authorised person in the relevant document, and that the signature had been forged.

What we do:

  • A lawsuit has been filed in court, and an expert examination has been ordered to determine the authenticity of the relevant official’s signature.
  • It was only then that the defendant effectively admitted the claim and did not wish to incur further costs by paying for the expert assessment as ordered by the court.

Result:

The Commercial Court has ruled in favour of the client.

Commercial dispute

Enquiry:

The client – a Ukrainian manufacturing company – entered into a foreign trade contract with a Czech company, made an advance payment under the contract (a foreign currency payment) and did not receive the goods within the timeframe specified in the contract. As the terms of the contract did not clearly specify the jurisdiction for this case, the Ukrainian commercial court could have refused to accept the case for consideration.

What we do:

  • A claim has been filed to recover an advance payment from a Czech company; the court is confident that the case falls within the jurisdiction of the Ukrainian courts.
  • The statement of claim and other procedural documents were translated into Czech by the claimant and, at the claimant’s request, were sent by the court to the defendant’s registered address in the Czech Republic over a period of six months.

Result:

Ultimately, the court ruled that the debt under a foreign trade contract should be recovered from the Czech company in favour of the Ukrainian company.
