Judgment of Pärnu County Court, Kuressaare Courthouse in the case 2-21-17871/12 dated 30 November 2023
Pärnu County Court, Kuressaare Courthouse
Decision summary
The court held that the parties had a valid arbitration agreement in clause 20.6 of the FIDIC contract and rejected the request to declare that agreement absent or void. It left Tesman Ehitus OÜ's claim for EUR 96,391 in principal and interest out of court review because the dispute fell within the arbitration agreement, and assigned the procedural costs to the claimant.
