The Moscow Arbitration Court refused to consider the claim against FBK for a billion rubles and returned it to the applicant. The head of the FBK legal department, Vasily Gimadi, reported this on Twitter.
As the judge emphasized in the ruling, the applicant did not fulfill the most basic requirements for filing a claim: he did not attach confirmation of payment of the state duty, a copy of the power of attorney of the signatory to the claim, and also did not provide evidence that FBK caused real damage to the applicant in the amount of one billion rubles.
- The Fly Auto car rental company, through the Moscow Arbitration Court, demanded from FBK and the Dozhd TV channel, indicated in the lawsuit as a third party, to pay one billion rubles for damage allegedly caused by the actions on July 27, August 3 and 10.
- This is not the only lawsuit stemming from the summer protests.
