Favorable Outcome for Client in Multi-Jurisdictional Dispute

We are pleased to inform you that our law firm has just successfully concluded the representation of one of our Polish clients in a case brought before an Italian court.

The background of the dispute was the destruction of goods (food products) during a fire in Poland. The insurer of the product filed a lawsuit in one of the Scandinavian countries against our client's principal, who in turn directed the same claim against our client before the court in Italy – additionally seeking that any future judgment by the Italian court also include the legal costs that the principal might be forced to pay in case of losing the case in one of the Nordic countries.

Thanks to the efficient cooperation between our law firm and our Scandinavian correspondent, including the collection of necessary evidence by our team for defense against compensation claims and their submission to foreign lawyers, the principal won the case brought by the insurer of the goods. As a result, the lawsuit against our client in Italy became irrelevant. However, it is worth emphasizing that as part of the comprehensive strategy for conducting the case, our law firm took timely steps to ensure that the process in Italy would not conclude before a judgment was issued in Scandinavia – overlooking such a matter could have potentially exposed the client to enforcement actions, for example, in Poland.
