The opponents of the YUKO lawyers were the bank represented by the DIA, demanding that transactions worth more than 1.6 billion rubles be invalidated.
YUKO lawyers managed to overturn the ruling of the court of first instance and prove that the bankrupt was not a profit center in the group of companies, and all borrowers were not a “loss center.” The court of first instance did not evaluate the statements of the borrowers’ current accounts, the lack of evidence of the fictitiousness of the contracts and the fact that the borrowers were of a “technical” nature. In addition, the appellate court took into account the arguments of the lawyers of the law company YUKO that the deadline for filing an application to invalidate the transactions was missed, and the behavior of the DIA in the framework of the debtor’s bankruptcy was unconscionable and inconsistent.
