The dispute and the court’s decision

Narva linn, P. Kerese tn 15 korteriühistu, named in the source as KERESE 15 NARVA KORTERIÜHISTU, claimed 319.56 euros in debt from defendant XX, who operated as a sole trader. It also sought 165 euros in costs: a 75-euro court fee and 90 euros for legal services. The judgment does not detail the composition of the debt. The defendant received the documents personally but neither answered the claim nor requested more time. At the association’s request, the court entered judgment in default for 319.56 euros and declared it immediately enforceable without security. The court awarded the 75-euro fee but refused the 90-euro legal-service cost. OÜ Infolex plus, which received the payment, had not participated as a contractual representative, and there was no information establishing that the person providing assistance met the requirements for such a representative. This concerned the particular cost claim, not the existence of the debt. Entry into force and subsequent appeals have not been reverified.

Outcome of this decision

The default judgment awarded 319.56 euros in debt and the 75-euro court fee. Reimbursement of 90 euros for legal services was refused; the judgment is immediately enforceable without security.

Entry into force has not been reverified
