The dispute and the court’s decision

Narva linn, Viru tn 20 korteriühistu, named in the source as Korteriühistu Viru 20 Narva, brought a monetary claim against defendant XX. The court awarded 2959.40 euros by default: 1946.87* euros in principal and 1012.53 euros in late-payment interest accrued by 1 March 2013. It also awarded late-payment interest at 0.07% per day on the principal of 1946.87* euros from 15 April 2013 until full payment. Costs of 325 euros comprised a 250-euro court fee and 75 euros for legal assistance. The judgment was declared immediately enforceable without security. It does not detail the underlying debt; a default judgment could be issued without descriptive and reasoning sections.

An accompanying note states that the judgment entered into force on 17 December 2013. The source does not establish actual payment of the amounts awarded.
