Kocian, Solc, Balastik has represented REMA in a long-running compensation claim against the Czech state, securing a final court ruling confirming that the Ministry of the Environment erred in a 2005 licensing procedure.

According to KSB, “the Court of Appeal finally confirmed that in 2005 the operator of the collective system REMA should have been selected as the sole administrator of funds for the management of historical electrical equipment in group 3. This breakthrough verdict brings the plaintiff operator of the collective system compensation for the loss of a major electrical equipment manufacturer due to the state's errors and opens the door to further claims.”

In 2024, KSB represented REMA before the European Commission regarding this same matter (as reported by CEE Legal Matters on June 18, 2024).

The KSB team included Partner Tomas Sequens and Counsel Petra Mirovska.
