“Lukoil has seized a site from a gas station for the construction of an interchange in the south of St. Petersburg” — Dmitry Shestakov’s comment for Business Petersburg
Smolny, through the court, seized a plot of land belonging to Lukoil-Severo-Zapadnefteprodukt LLC for the construction of an interchange in the south of St. Petersburg.
In February of this year, the City Committee for the Development of Transport Infrastructure (KRTI) in the Arbitration Court of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region demanded that Lukoil-Severo-Zapadnefteprodukt LLC (LSZNP) withdraw a plot of land (2.8 thousand m2) with a gas station located at 17A Dunaysky Prospekt. The ownership of this property belongs to the company. The court supported the officials.
The experts interviewed by DP doubt the success of the LSD if the company still appeals the decision of the first instance. Dmitry Shestakov, lawyer at Prime Advice, explains that in this situation, the owners of the plots to be seized may refer to a violation of the grounds and procedure for seizure or to an understated monetary compensation.
The factual circumstances set out in the judicial act indicate that there were no procedural violations. Any objections on the part of the defendant regarding the procedure or the amount of monetary compensation are also not reflected in the decision,
