DEQING XINYING IMPORT AND EXPORT CO LTD

Core of the Case

We represented a Chinese company that was recovering a debt from a Russian company arising from an international shipment of goods.
The case was complicated by the fact that all agreements and correspondence of the parties were in electronic form. In addition, the defendant worked with the plaintiff through his brokers, in whose name goods were actually delivered from China to the port of St. Petersburg.
We were faced with the task of collecting the debt with all penalties on the terms of the contract, the conclusion of which had to be proved.

Scope of Services

Starting from the pre-trial stage, we represented the plaintiff’s company until the court issued a decision that satisfies our requirements. To solve the issue, we collected the necessary evidence, prepared a legal position and a claim, and acted as representatives in court.

Achievements, Results, Importance, Significance of the Project

Based on the provisions of the UN Convention on the Use of Electronic Communications, we were able to prove the necessary circumstances and collect a debt in accordance with the terms of the contract in the amount of 27,209.38 US dollars in Russian rubles at the exchange rate of the Bank of Russia on the date of payment, as well as to collect a contractual penalty in the same amount using a rate of 0.1% for each day of delay, starting from 01.09.2014 to the date of actual payment of the debt.
