Supreme Court on expiry of claims for damages arising from design contracts

Supreme Court on expiry of claims for damages arising from design contracts

Under the guise of the coronavirus crisis, the Civil Chamber of the Supreme Court issued an important decision on 25 March 2020 regarding the expiration of claims for damages arising from building design contracts. In that case (c matter No. 2-16-14644), the parties disputed whether a limitation period of three or five years applies to the expiry of the requirements arising from the building design contract due to a lack of construction work. It was also debated when the expiry of the requirement arising from the design contract would begin. As a special regulation of the three-year limitation period, the five-year limitation period is prescribed by the legislature for the expiry of the claims arising from the contract of employment of the building. The design contract is also an employment contract by nature, and if an error is made in the design, it appears as a defect in the structure. Consequently, design contracts must be subject to a five-year limitation period under this Supreme Court position. Read the full article

Under the living room window came a sofa from which it was nice to look at the garden, a simple black-and-white carpet on the floor. Read the full article

Andres Männart tries to avoid prison

Andres Männart tries to avoid prison

The court did not hear at all whether Männart was a reasonable person to serve a replacement sentence, said Raul Ainla, a barrister in Andres Männart's defense, who said Männart is not a dangerous recidivist for society, for example. Of course, man hopes for the best, and his interest was to fix the relationship with the state and compensate for the damage. According to Ainla, Männart had also already been agreed with the Kaarl congregation to carry out simple work there for four hours a day as community service, and with the Tallinn Diaconia School, where he would have become a nurse.
