How it started · editorial summary

Under its terms, breach of the schedule permits the association to treat the agreement as invalid.

The dispute and the court’s decision

Narva linn, V. Gerassimovi tn 16 korteriühistu and debtor XX submitted a written settlement after service of a payment proposal in expedited payment-order proceedings. The case was transferred from Pärnu Maakohus to Viru Maakohus for approval. The court examined permissibility and enforceability, approved the settlement before non-contentious proceedings began and discontinued the case. The debtor acknowledged management and utility arrears payable over twelve months. The agreement does not release the debtor from current monthly payments. On improper performance, including full or partial non-payment of at least one scheduled instalment, the association may unilaterally treat the agreement as invalid. The order approves that condition but does not establish its actual use or performance of the schedule. Each party bears its own costs without reimbursement.

Outcome of this decision

A twelve-month settlement schedule was approved and the case discontinued. Current payments remain due.

How it started · editorial summary

The settlement distinguishes scheduled debt from the statement about current charges.

The dispute and the court’s decision

Narva linn, Soldina tn 18c korteriühistu sought payment from two debtors XX in expedited payment-order proceedings. The proposed schedule contained additional conditions, so the case was transferred to Viru Maakohus. After clarification, the participants submitted a new settlement, which the court approved before non-contentious proceedings began and discontinued the case. The acknowledged obligation includes principal, late-payment interest and costs, with six monthly payments. Initial dates precede the order, but performance was not established. A delay exceeding ten calendar days permits the association to seek enforcement of the judicial settlement. The statement about current charges expressly creates no independently enforceable obligation under this settlement. After the final payment, the debt is treated as paid. Additional costs remain with the participants.

Outcome of this decision

Six payments were approved; delay exceeding ten days permits an enforcement application. The case was discontinued.

The dispute and the court’s decision

Narva linn, Linda tn 1 korteriühistu and debtor XX submitted a settlement following the start of expedited payment-order proceedings.

The dispute and the court’s decision

The court approved a settlement between Narva linn, Tallinna mnt 46 korteriühistu and two persons XX and terminated proceedings.
