Attorneys Aivar Pilv and Anneli Aab from Leadell Pilv in Estonia have successfully defended clients Karl and Kaarel Liivapuu in Harju County Court against a civil claim for damages of over EUR 127,000 based on allegations that they improperly influenced "a member of management board ... to perform a transaction harmful for the company by selling an apartment under its market value."
According to Leadell Pilv, "the court did not establish the existence of influence over the company or the following illegal use of influence, [and] therefore the claim for compensation was not proved and was not satisfied."
The plaintiffs have 30 days to appeal the decision of the court of first instance.
