Our cases

Housing dispute

Enquiry:

The client was registered as a resident of a flat that was state-owned (belonging to the local authority) and lived there with her child. Due to a conflict with other family members, the client and her child were forced to move into a rented room in a communal flat. Other family members wanted to forcibly remove her from the register and privatise the flat themselves, without her.

What we do:

  • The plaintiffs, who wished to have our client’s registration revoked, filed a lawsuit to that effect; family members and neighbours, who had been turned against our client by the neighbours, gave false evidence in court.
  • We gathered evidence and called other witnesses, proving that family members had created obstacles to the client’s ability to live in the flat.

Result:

We won the court case on behalf of our client and prevented the privatisation of the flat without the client’s consent.

Housing dispute

Enquiry:

The client – a woman with a child – had no other accommodation apart from a large flat which she jointly owned with her ex-husband. Her ex-husband did not want to leave the flat to his wife and child; he wanted to be compensated for the value of his share (half of the flat), but the client did not have the money to pay him.

What we do:

  • The man filed a claim for the division of the flat, demanding that his wife pay him for his half of the property.
  • We filed a counterclaim with the client seeking the division of the flat and the allocation of her half in kind.
  • Following the expert assessment, it was established that the flat could be divided into two separate, technically distinct flats with an additional entrance, which was subsequently carried out.

Result:

The client renovated the flat and sold her half of it, having bought a property in another area.

Labour dispute

Enquiry:

The client was employed by a company which, during the COVID-19 pandemic, stopped paying wages due to a decline in sales of its own products. Rumours began to circulate that the company was ceasing operations and facing bankruptcy. It was necessary to recover the debt through the courts very quickly and apply for enforcement.

What we do:

  • To ensure the case was dealt with more quickly, summary proceedings should have been initiated, as cases in ordinary proceedings take much longer to be heard.
  • Due to a lack of the necessary documents to initiate proceedings under the summary procedure, the court refused to accept the case for consideration; the application was subsequently resubmitted on several occasions, after which one of the judges did, in fact, hear the case under the summary procedure and issued an order for the recovery of the funds.

Result:

The case was heard in just one month, and the judgment was swiftly enforced, with the funds recovered from the company.
