Kherson City Court partially granted the claim of JSC “Kherson TPP” against a local resident regarding the recovery of heating debt. The court ordered the woman to pay more than 16 thousand hryvnias, but dismissed a significant part of the claims due to the statute of limitations having been missed.
This is stated in the relevant court ruling.
The TPP turned to the court seeking to recover UAH 23,427 of debt from the Kherson resident, accumulated from November 2015 to May 2021.
Since the general statute of limitations is 3 years, the court only took into account the debt charged from November 2018. Debts for previous years (2015–2017) are not recoverable.
The court rejected the defense’s arguments about the “prohibition on recovery in a combat zone”, since the TPP demanded payment for services provided exclusively before February 24, 2022.
As a result, the court ordered the defendant to pay to JSC “Kherson TPP” UAH 16,678 of principal debt and UAH 1,611 of court fee. The remainder of the claims (about 7 thousand hryvnias) were denied to the company.
Earlier we wrote that the court partially denied “Naftogaz” the recovery of debt for gas supplied to occupied Kherson.
