The dispute and the court’s decision
Narva linn, Kangelaste prospekt 18a korteriühistu, named in the judgment as Kangelaste 18a korteriühistu, sought unpaid building running-cost charges from owner XX. The claim comprised 1429.41 euros in principal, 229.71 euros in late-payment interest and further interest at 0.07% per day on the principal from 2 March 2012 until full payment.
The defendant admitted the claim in writing. The court granted it on that basis and declared the judgment immediately enforceable without security. This was a judgment on an admitted claim, rather than a default judgment for failure to reply.
The court awarded the 319.55-euro court fee. It refused reimbursement of 60 euros paid to OÜ INFOLEX PLUS for drafting the claim: the company had not participated as a contractual representative, and the qualifications of the person providing assistance had not been established. Actual payment, entry into force and subsequent appeals have not been reverified.
Outcome of this decision
The court awarded 1429.41 euros in principal, 229.71 euros in accrued interest, further interest at 0.07% per day on the principal from 2 March 2012 and a 319.55-euro court fee. Legal costs of 60 euros were refused. The judgment is immediately enforceable without security.
