The dispute and the court’s decision
Korteriühistu KANGELASTE 3 sued Osaühing Rosehill for a debt. The order does not identify its type. On 9 September 2014 the parties submitted a settlement: the association withdraws its claim, the defendant supports withdrawal, and neither has mutual claims arising from this case.
The court found the settlement consistent with law and good morals, approved it and closed the proceedings. This was an agreed resolution, rather than a judicial finding that the debt had been paid or did not exist. The same claim cannot be brought again.
Each party bears its own costs. The court ordered half the filing fee, EUR 399.45, returned to the claimant. The parties shortened the appeal period to two days from service of the order.
Outcome of this decision
The settlement was approved and the proceedings closed. Each party bears its own costs; EUR 399.45 of the filing fee is to be returned to the claimant.
