GOLAW attorneys successfully represented the interests of a Spanish company in a case on recovery of administrative and economic sanctions

The legal team, representing the defendant, proved that there were no legal grounds for imposing sanctions and penalty. 

GOLAW’s attorneys insisted that the defendant had taken all the measures provided for by law to ensure the employment of persons with disabilities, including the creation of appropriate jobs and timely reporting to government agencies. However, due to objective circumstances, including the absence of candidates with disabilities who wished to be employed, it became impossible to fulfill the quota.

The court upheld the defense’s position and found that the defendant had not violated the law, and therefore the imposition of sanctions and penalty was unjustified. 

In the decision, the court noted that the defendant had proven that it had taken all measures in its power to prevent the offense, and therefore there were no grounds for prosecution.

The project was handled by a team of Litigation and Dispute Resolution practice of GOLAW: Partner and Head of practice Kateryna Manoylenko, Partner Kateryna Tsvetkova, Senior Associate Nataliia Matviichuk and Associate Ilona Rudnyk.
