Case No.A54-1792 / 2017, No.A54-2442 / 2017
Residents of the village found the death of fish in the pond. The reason, as it turned out later, was a liquid that fell into a reservoir from a pipe of unknown origin. Employees of the company immediately reported this to Rosprirodnadzor. In order to avoid harmful consequences for the ecosystem, the organization independently eliminated the leak, so that discharges do not spread further.

Later we found that the old pipes of the 50s, belonging to the enterprise during the USSR, were deformed in the ground. We engaged independent experts and carefully analyzed the evidence base. Correctly formulated inquiries and answers received, during two forensic examinations, allowed to get to the bottom of the truth and establish that the enterprise's fault was completely absent. The revealed violations during the proceedings of an administrative offense case allowed further to refer to the rule on invalidity of evidence obtained in violation of the Federal Law.

As a result, all claims were withdrawn. The amount of the disputed claims and the criminal charges dropped indicate a high effect for the enterprise. You can learn more about the cases A54-1792 / 2017 and A54-2442 / 2017. For the first time in the history of such cases, Rosprirodnadzor acted on the side of the enterprise in the appeal instance.

Independent examinations were carried out on the case and a scientific expedition was organized.

In the absence of the concluded agreement with the city administration, the client went to court with a claim to recover the amount of money for using the collector.

The calculation of the claim is based on the method of accounting for the capacity of sewer networks using the method of accounting for the capacity of sewer networks.
