05 Jul 2018 The Arbitration court of St. Petersburg and Leningrad region considered the claim of the corporate member to invalidate the decision of the state authority on the exclusion of the legal entity from the state register.

The firm’s lawyers defended the interests of the plaintiff.

In preparation for the case and the analysis of legal prospects, the lawyers have established that the corporate member was ill for a long time, therefore could not adequately perform the company’s management. The business activity actually was not ceased, but carried out in smaller volumes than previously.

The Tax Inspectorate has established that the company has not provided the statutory reporting and has not conducted banking transactions on the current account during the last 12 months.

The evidence base has been formed in full, including the period of the disease and the evidence for the conduct of current business activities.
