The State Transport Leasing Company (GTLK) is once again at the center of a legal battle due to delays in the delivery of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). This time, "Roskadastr" has filed a lawsuit for 19.7 million rubles, which is almost ten times more than the previous claim of 2.13 million rubles.
The conflict is based on a violation of the UAV delivery deadlines, which should have been transferred to the customer. This time, "GC Quiet Wings" (Kalashnikov) acts as a third party in the process.
To involve LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY "QUIET WINGS GROUP OF COMPANIES" (198095, ST. PETERSBURG, CHEMICAL LANE, D. 1, LIT. AV, ROOM 13-N, OFFICE 40, OGRN: 1207800024662, OGRN Assignment Date: 02/21/2020, TIN: 7802703755) as a third party not making independent claims.
Earlier, the court ruled that GTLK was obliged to pay a penalty of 2,138,948 rubles 16 kopecks, despite attempts to shift responsibility to the drone manufacturer, Geoskan.
In the review, the defendant argues that the untimely delivery of the goods to the Plaintiff under the Agreement occurred through the fault of Geoskan LLC (hereinafter - the Third Party), with whom the Defendant concluded a separate agreement for the supply of unmanned aerial vehicles dated 05/29/2024 No. 24-203-GTLK to ensure the fulfillment of obligations under the Agreement. The Third Party untimely fulfilled its obligations to the Defendant for the supply of unmanned aerial vehicles provided for by agreement No. 24-203-GTLK dated 05/29/2024, which caused the Defendant to fail to fulfill its obligations to the Plaintiff. Meanwhile, this argument cannot serve as justification for exempting the defendant from paying the penalty.
