The protection of a citizen’s rights was once again successfully ensured before the Civil Court of Appeal of the Republic of Armenia in a dispute against Veolia Djur CJSC.
The case concerned the imposition of an additional financial obligation on a citizen in the amount of more than 700,000 AMD, which, according to the company, had arisen as a result of an alleged violation related to a water meter.
Back in 2025, the Court of General Jurisdiction of the City of Yerevan (Court of First Instance) fully upheld the claim filed by “AM” Law Firm, establishing that the additional financial burden imposed on the citizen was unlawful and violated his rights and legitimate interests.
However, Veolia Djur CJSC appealed the decision.
The Civil Court of Appeal of the Republic of Armenia, having examined the submitted appeal, returned it several times, pointing out procedural deficiencies and requesting that they be remedied in accordance with the procedure established by law.
Since these requirements were not fulfilled, the court refused to admit the appeal for consideration, as a result of which the decision of the court of first instance entered into legal force.
As a result, the client was finally released from the obligation to pay more than 700,000 AMD, and fair reimbursement of legal costs was also ensured.
This case once again demonstrates that consistent and professional legal work delivers results even in multi-level judicial proceedings.
The case was handled by Marine Hovhannisyan, Attorney at “AM” Law Firm.
