On 27 June 2023, the Arbitrazh Court of the Rostov Region considered the claim of the Marine Rescue Service Federal State Budgetary Institution against Palmali LLC for the recovery of 38.2 million Roubles of debt arising from the salvage agreement and legal costs.
PJSC Sberbank participated in the case as a third party. The bank referred to the fact that the dispute should be considered in London by way of arbitration.
Clause I of the Salvage Agreement provided that the place of dispute settlement is arbitration in London, and the dispute is considered according to the rules of LLOYD'S SALVAGE ARBITRATION CLAUSES 2020.
