Subject of Dispute: Recovery of Debt for Electricity Produced in the Temporarily Occupied Territory during the Period of October 2021 – August 2022.
Main Arguments of the Court: The Court considers that the legal relations in this case are similar to the case currently being considered by the Supreme Court in the United Chamber. The key issue is whether the provisions of the Law on the Temporarily Occupied Territory can be applied to legal relations that arose before the official recognition of the territory as occupied. The Court of Appeal suspended the proceedings until the resolution of this fundamental issue in another case, as its result may influence the resolution of the current dispute.
Court Decision: To leave the cassation complaint unsatisfied, and the ruling of the Commercial Court of Appeal on suspension of proceedings unchanged.
