Sorainen has represented Latvian transport company AS Cata before the Administrative Court in a dispute over the right to conclude a public contract for passenger transport in the region of Vidzeme.
According to Sorainen, “the court has found that the Road Transport Administration has to withdraw from state contracts worth EUR 200 million with the Nordeka company, which has not started passenger transportation on routes in Cesis, Limbazi, and Sigulda within the time stipulated.”
“In the judgment of March 2, the Administrative Court ruled that the Road Transport Administration had no grounds to give AS Nordeka, which was involved in the cartel, additional time in order to start providing transport. As of today, Nordeka has still not started providing services in Vidzeme, where the previous carrier, AS Cata, continues to provide transport,” the firm informed.
Sorainen’s team included Senior Associate Katrine Plavina-Mika and Associate Elvis Grinbergs.
