The dispute and the court’s decision
Narva linn, Soldina tn 7 korteriühistu sought EUR 2,104.54 from XX. Following the debtor’s objection, expedited payment order proceedings ended and the claim was transferred for ordinary litigation. Before admission was decided, the association reported payment and said it would not file a statement of claim.
The court explained that proceedings not yet commenced could not be closed for withdrawal. Applying an analogy of law and noting the claimant’s lack of interest in continuing, it refused admission and ordered return of the application. The application is treated as not filed; no debt award was made.
Costs were left with the claimant. Payment is reported as the association’s statement, rather than an independent judicial finding on the accounts.
Outcome of this decision
Admission was refused; the application is returned and treated as not filed. The association bears the costs.
