Legal news website Pravo.ru has published the results of tenders for a contract to represent the distribution grid company Severo-Zapada. The winning bid for this work was made by Maxima Legal.

As part of the bidding process, lawyers were required to represent the interests of the subsidiary Rosset (at an appeal stage before the regulator) in an administrative claim against the Arkhangelsk Agency for Tariffs and Pricing. The company is seeking a ruling that a civil servant’s decision dated 13 December 2013 which established a base level for controlled prices of its branch Arkhenergo for 2014 is ineffective. Severo-Zapada also asks that the agency approves the tariffs for electricity distribution services in 2017 taking into account the new regulations (in place of the regulations being ruled to be ineffective).

Additionally Maxima Legal won a further tender from Severo-Zapada to provide legal services to represent the interests the company in the Arbitration Court of the Novgorod region and higher instances in two disputes with TNS Energo Veliky Novgorod for the recovery of debts in the sum of 80 million roubles.
