Protection of the interests of state enterprises in economic courts

In 2023, the district prosecutor's office took measures to protect the interests of a state-owned enterprise in economic court proceedings.

According to Article 290 of the Civil Code of the Republic of Belarus, obligations must be fulfilled properly in accordance with the terms of the contract and the requirements of legislation, and in the absence of such requirements – in accordance with the commonly presented requirements.

Thus, the prosecutor's office of Braslaŭ district established during an inspection that in fulfilling its obligations, the open joint-stock company "Vitsebskoblavtotrans" branch "Transport Enterprise No. 18 of Braslaŭ" carried out the transportation of goods worth 800 euros. However, in violation of the contract terms, payment for the specified transportation by a legal entity located in the territory of the Republic of Lithuania has not been made to this day, resulting in an outstanding debt.

In the pre-trial settlement of the dispute, a claim letter regarding the necessity of debt payment was sent to the organization located in the territory of the Republic of Lithuania, which was received; however, no response has been received to date, and no proposals for settling the debt payment have been made.

As a result of the inspection activities, the district prosecutor, in accordance with Article 6 of the Economic Procedural Code of the Republic of Belarus, filed a lawsuit in the economic court of Vitebsk region in the interests of the open joint-stock company "Vitsebskoblavtotrans" branch "Transport Enterprise No. 18 of Braslaŭ" for the recovery of the debt under the contract for the provision of transport services in the total amount of 1298 euros.
