UNDERSTAND AND FORGIVE? PROCEEDINGS TO RECOVER 1.1 BILLION FROM ZARA HAVE BEEN DISCONTINUED

The claim was previously filed by MBN Agro. She is the owner of retail premises on Neglinnaya Street, 10.

We are talking about the claim of MBN Agro against Zara CIS JSC, part of the Spanish Inditex group of companies (Zara, Massimo Dutti, Bershka, Oysho, etc.). The company demanded to terminate the lease agreement and recover from the defendant rent arrears and lost profits totaling 1.1 billion rubles.

In addition, the plaintiff demanded to terminate the lease agreement and collect 1 million rubles of court penalty for each day of delay in the execution of the court decision.

The plaintiff filed a motion for taking measures to secure the claim in the form of seizure of the defendant's funds. The court refused to grant the petition.

Despite the previously announced large amount of debts and lost profits of MBN Agro, at the moment the proceedings have been terminated. Presumably, this may be due to the fact that the company has abandoned the claim.

Earlier it became known that over 30 lawsuits have already been filed by Russian shopping centers against Inditex group companies. Store owners are required to pay fines for idle shops since March and rent arrears. Among the largest is the lawsuit of the shopping center in Samara against Zara CIS for over 512 million. The same company filed a lawsuit against Bershka CIS for more than 240 million rubles.
