The dispute and the court’s decision
Claimant XX sued Narva linn, Kangelaste prospekt 49 korteriühistu, named in the source as KÜ Kangelaste 49, seeking invalidity of employment termination, unpaid wages and compensation. The association denied the claim and counterclaimed to challenge the contract’s validity.
In the settlement, the parties recognised a board-member contract dated 20 June 2004, extended upon re-election. It ended when the claimant was removed as board chair by the general meeting on 12 September 2011. The association undertook to pay final compensation of 422.46 euros within 15 calendar days after the order entered into force. After payment, neither side would have further claims not mentioned in the agreement.
The court approved the lawful and performable agreement and terminated proceedings without deciding the original opposing positions on their merits. Each side bears its costs; half the court fees were ordered refunded: 57.52 euros to the claimant and 159.77 euros to the association for its counterclaim. The appeal deadline was shortened to seven days from service. Performance and entry into force have not been reverified.
