We were engaged by our client Project Planning and Management OOD in a dispute with the debtor Plovdiv Municipality related to collection of receivables.Both parties concluded a contract for preparation of a major project for modernization and socialization of the Maritza riverbed within the space running through the city of Plovdiv.  Our client fulfilled all its obligations but it could not collect the full amount of its remuneration since under the contract the final payment was conditioned from an approval of the project by the environmental bodies (RIOSV and the Ministry of the Environment and Water). For 2-3 years after delivering the project the necessary administrative approvals were still missing.Therefore, we filed a lawsuit against Plovdiv Municipality in court and we succeeded to prove that the continuing lack of a final approval of the project from the competent administrative bodies was only due to the passive behavior of Plovdiv Municipality.Hence, the court accepted our view that it was unjust that our client suffers from the above said passive approach of Plovdiv Municipality and not being able to effectively collect all its receivables from the contract and ruled wholly in favour of our client.
