Advised the client on compensation for harm to aquatic bioresources

Specialists from Pepeliaev Group advised the client on compensation for harm to aquatic bioresources: on the content, interpretation and application of the provisions of the methodology for calculating harm, and on the mandatory requirements imposed by the current regulatory and technical documents for obtaining permissible evidence in the case, including requirements for the preparation and research of sampling documents, and requirements for persons authorised to conduct sampling and research sampling documents. Moreover, our specialists represented the client as the defendant in court.

The Federal Fisheries Agency applied a new approach in determining the amount of harm, which was not provided for by the methodology for determining the amount of harm caused to aquatic bioresources. This led to an unprecedented high amount of compensation for harm. At the same time, within the framework of the court proceedings, the state authority agreed to consider the possibility for harm to be compensated in kind.
