The dispute and the court’s decision
XX challenged a board instruction of Narva linn, Tallinna mnt 18 korteriühistu, called KÜ Nartall-18 in the judgment, denying him admission to the general meeting of 3 July 2013. The court decided the case in written proceedings and granted the claim on admission. The short judgment does not give detailed circumstances of the dispute or a separate assessment of the reasons for exclusion.
The instruction excluding XX was set aside, rather than the general meeting’s decisions. All litigation costs were placed on the association: XX was awarded the court fee of 100* euros and representation costs of 125* euros. Costs payable to the state were left for a separate order after the judgment becomes final. The judgment was declared immediately enforceable without security; an appeal could be lodged within 30 days after service.
Outcome of this decision
The board decision denying XX admission to the general meeting of 3 July 2013 was set aside. The association was ordered to pay the court fee of 100* euros and representation costs of 125* euros; state costs are to be decided separately.
