The court ordered KRET to pay millions to the Ministry of Health of the Stavropol Territory for disrupting the supply of IVL devices

The Arbitration Court of the Stavropol Territory ordered KRET to pay 8 million rubles to the regional Ministry of Health for disrupting the supply of IVL devices. The department's lawsuit against Rostec's daughter is partially satisfied.

According to RBC Kavkaz, citing court materials, the Ministry of Health of Stavropol filed a lawsuit against KRET in October 2020. Initially, the amount of claims was 566.6 million rubles, but subsequently it was reduced to 507 million rubles.

KRET was supposed to deliver 312 Aventa-M devices to medical institutions of the Stavropol Territory by September 21, 2020. However, part of the equipment was not shipped by this time, in connection with which the regional Ministry of Health went to court. The lawsuit listed requirements for termination of the state contract, return of the advance amount, payment of a fine and interest on the use of funds.
