The company "Rubezh" won a lawsuit and was exempted from paying a penalty of $5.4 million for refusing to supply fire systems for the Turkish Akkuyu NPP. The Thirteenth Arbitration Court of Appeal recognized that "Rubezh" did not start manufacturing equipment because its partner (the "Electropult Plant") did not provide up-to-date technical documentation in time.
"Rubezh" was supposed to manufacture and install fire protection control systems for four power units of the NPP under a contract signed in 2020. But there were problems with the technical specifications, which did not meet Turkish standards. As a result, "Rubezh" was forced to withdraw from the project, and the "Electropult Plant" terminated the contract with it.
The court found that the "Electropult Plant" did not fulfill its obligations to provide the necessary documentation. This caused delays.
"Rubezh" was unable to start production and purchase of materials. The court also noted that the "Electropult Plant" did not suffer financial losses from "Rubezh's" withdrawal from the project, as the delay began before the contract was concluded.
Now "Rubezh" is demanding compensation from the "Electropult Plant" in the amount of $1.8 million for work performed in preparation for the order. The court of first instance upheld this claim, and now the "Electropult Plant" may find itself a debtor.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the Turkish "daughter" of Rosatom was denied a claim for 365 million rubles against a Russian contractor.
