The lawsuit of the Moscow authorities says that "the land plot for construction was not provided, the necessary permits for construction (reconstruction) were not issued," and the new premises "have signs of unauthorized buildings." On this basis, the metropolitan mayor's office demanded to demolish all additional structures and return the building to its original form.

As part of the proceedings, the court appointed an examination, which was carried out by the FBU Russian Federal Forensic Center named after Professor A. R. Shlyakhov at the Ministry of Justice Russia"." Experts came to the conclusion that the dismantling of additional buildings is possible, but such work will lead to a loss of mechanical strength of the structures. In addition, to implement them, all people will have to be evicted from the building.

As a result, the court ruled that the demolition of unauthorized construction facilities is a last resort, and the absence of a building permit cannot serve as a basis for making decisions on the claim. The verdict says that "the disputed object does not pose a threat to the life and health of citizens, complies with urban planning, construction and fire standards and rules, is located on a land plot belonging to the defendant on the basis of a lease agreement, does not violate the rights of the city." Claims have been denied.^[1]

If before the creation of reserves for upcoming expenses was a voluntary right of organizations, now, in accordance with PBU 8/2010, firms are obliged to create an estimated obligation in the form of a reserve for vacation payments at each reporting date (the exception is enterprises that have the status of a small business entity).
