History
2023
Challenge to the decision to pay OCS 1.44 billion rubles
On September 12, 2023, it became known that Hewlett Packard Enterprise LLC, the Russian structure of the American IT corporation Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), filed an appeal against the decision of the Moscow Arbitration Court to pay 1.44 billion rubles in favor of OCS Distribution ( O-Si-es-Center LLC).
According to Sheets the newspaper "," details about the subject of the litigation are not given, since the case is being considered behind closed doors. It is only known that the plaintiffs' claims are related to the fact that Hewlett Packard Enterprise did not fulfill its obligations under the contracts due to the current geopolitical situation and the termination of activities in the market. RUSSIAN FEDERATION
According to Telecom Daily CEO Denis Kuskov, the reason for the trial was that HPE did not supply the server equipment and storage systems that OCS planned to install to its customers in the corporate sector. The largest customers of the Russian subsidiary NRE were Rostelecom, MUEC (a heat supply company in Moscow, part of Gazprom Energoholding) and Glonass.
Vinder Law Office Managing Partner Artem Abramov believes that HPE's decision to appeal the ruling may be dictated by the fact that the company does not agree with the size of the debt collected by the court or with its presence before this counterparty. According to estimates, as of December 31, 2022, the assets of Hewlett Packard Enterprise LLC exceeded 8 billion rubles: thus, the company has enough funds to pay off its creditors. The assets remaining after this can be distributed among the members of the company within the framework of the "liquidation quota." But even the company's lack of property in Russia does not guarantee protection from foreclosure on its property in another country, which recognizes Russian court decisions.[1]
IT distributor OCS sued HPE 1.44 billion rubles
On July 26, 2023, the Moscow Arbitration Court satisfied the claim of OCS Distribution against the Russian structure of the American IT corporation Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE). In connection with the departure from the Russian Federation in the current geopolitical situation, HPE will have to pay approximately 1.44 billion rubles in favor of OCS for obligations not fulfilled under contracts.
The distributor OCS (O-CS-Center LLC), which supplies computers, servers, data storage systems, telecommunications and network equipment, peripherals, components and electronics, sued Hewlett Packard Enterprise LLC on October 31, 2022. According to CNews, the consideration of the case took place behind closed doors, so the details were not disclosed. It is only reported that the court ruled to fully satisfy the requirements of O-Si-Es-Center LLC to recover from Hewlett Packard Enterprise LLC an amount of 1 438 079 144,01 rubles in connection with the refusal to fulfill previously concluded contracts.
After the curtailment of activities in the Russian market, several lawsuits were filed against HPE by Russian partners. Companies complain, in particular, that Hewlett Packard Enterprise LLC does not fulfill its obligations in terms of providing qualified technical support, and the certificates supplied are invalid.
By the end of July 2023, the court is considering another OCS statement of claim against HPE: it was sent on April 4, 2023, and the amount of claims is 550 992 831,74 rubles. On May 19, 2023, the integrator of Paladin Enterprise LLC demanded to recover 58,440,675,71 rubles from Hewlett Packard Enterprise LLC, and then filed another lawsuit - for 7,768,275,83 rubles. In addition, lawsuits against the Russian structure of the NRE from "(LLC "Marvell CT 1,092,729,542,5 rubles), (Platformix LLC 2,835,050,93 rubles) and (LLC "Company Complit" 700,660,76 rubles) are being considered[2]
Recovery of 128.2 million rubles in favor of the IT integrator "Complit" for the terminated contract

According to CNews, a partnership agreement between Hewlett Packard Enterprise LLC and Complit was signed on July 21, 2015. Under the terms of the contract, the Russian enterprise NRE was supposed to provide the customer with technical support services under the Care Pack model, which provides for extended conditions of a standard warranty for software, computer and peripheral equipment. However, at the beginning of 2022, the NRE curtailed its activities in Russia, without providing Complit with the agreed services in full.
As a result, Hewlett Packard Enterprise LLC formed the amount of "unjust enrichment on payments made for paid but not provided technical support." At the same time, as CNews points out, the partnership agreement between HPE and Complit was broken only seven months after the departure of the American corporation from the Russian Federation: the corresponding notification is dated August 5, 2022 with entry into force 60 days after receipt, that is, from October 5, 2022. What is the reason for such a delay, the participants in the trial do not say.
In fact, the situation with Complit means that this Russian integrator has maintained a partnership with NRE (at least formally) for more than six months since the American supplier of products and services ceased operations in the Russian Federation. At the same time, "Complit" sent several lawsuits to the partner at once demanding compensation.[3]
Cancellation of 840 million debt of the IT company "Asteros"

HPE Russia will pay 557 million rubles for refusing to provide paid technical support to the ex-partner
On December 22, a reasoning decision was published in the file of arbitration courts on the claim against Hewlett Packard Enterprise LLC, the Russian representative office of Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE)[6]This lawsuit is currently the largest against Hewlett Packard Enterprise in the file cabinet: as part of the trial, the company was required to pay about 557 million rubles.
As follows from the published decision of the Arbitration Court, Moscow such an amount was demanded from the Russian representative office of HPE by Imcotreid, to which the right of claim was transferred from (O-C-Es-Center OCS) on the basis of a cession agreement.
In 2015, OCS became the distributor of NRE products and its non-exclusive authorized partner for the purchase, resale and sublicense of products and support. The end of the terms of technical support from HPE within the framework of various sets of services under the partnership agreement varies from October 2022 to December 2026.
However, from March 1, 2022, HPE, in the absence of grounds provided for by law and partnership agreement, unilaterally stopped providing technical support for all orders paid by OCS. OCS requested a refund.
In response, Hewlett Packard Enterprise notified OCS of the impossibility of fulfilling order obligations and the termination of orders to a partnership agreement on March 1, 2022. To the notice of this, Hewlett Packard Enterprise attached the calculation, the result of which was its recognition of the "unspent residual value of technical support" in the amount of about 557 million rubles.
And despite this, the OCS money was never returned. Actually, which became the reason for going to court.
The defendant's debt has signs of unjust enrichment established by civil law, the court said. This cash paid by OCS for technical support has been withheld by Hewlett Packard Enterprise since March 2022 in the absence of legal grounds, since Hewlett Packard Enterprise has been defaulting and refusing to comply with its obligations in the future. Thus, her debt is refundable, the court decided.
The Imcotreid lawsuit was recognized by the court as justified and subject to full satisfaction.
It also follows from the decision of the Moscow Arbitration Court that Sberbank is the third party in the case - the end user of the services paid, but not provided.
