BBH has successfully represented the Diamo state-owned enterprise in a dispute concerning its obligation to perform a contract worth over CZK 1 billion.

Diamo, with headquarters in Straz pod Ralskem, is an organization that implements the remediation of the consequences of mining activities after the extraction of uranium, ores, and (partially) coal mining in the Czech Republic.

According to BBH, "the case involved a critical contractual issue and, had the court ruled otherwise, the operational integrity of Diamo would have been at risk. BBH also secured an award of full costs amounting to approximately CZK 5 million. The decisions of the Regional Court in Usti nad Labem and the High Court in Prague are now final and binding."

The BBH team included Partners Petr Vosahlik and Katerina Winterling Vorlickova and Trainees Tomas Ulip and Jiri Rydl.
