The Italian company purchased a batch of refractory translucent glass from the Russian manufacturer. After delivery, the buyer refused to pay for the part of the glass supplied, which turned out to be defective and did not meet the stated quality requirements – the glass was supplied with imperfections, opaque.
Long negotiations on an extrajudicial settlement of the situation did not lead to anything. The supplier insisted that the disadvantages of the goods were caused by the improper conditions for their transportation and storage, and the buyer argued that the production defect and requested not to pay for poor-quality goods. When the negotiations reached a dead end, the supplier filed a lawsuit with the Arbitration Court of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region to recover the debt in the amount of about ten thousand euros.
Defending the interests of the defendant, we argued in court that this was not an isolated case of delivery of goods of inadequate quality by the supplier and that, for its part, the Italian company was ready to make counterclaims on these cases. During the trial, the parties managed to find a compromise, which resulted in a settlement agreement approved by the court, in accordance with which the plaintiff and the defendant declared a mutual waiver of any claims related to the disputed delivery. The terms of the agreement completely satisfied our client from Italy, who actually achieved that the claim filed against him was left without action.
