On 14 February 2020, Vilnius Administrative County Court adopted a decision and partially fulfilled City Service SE (“Company”) subsidiaries’ (UAB Būsto aplinka and UAB Mano Būsto priežiūra) complaints regarding 1.074.416 EUR fine, that was imposed by the Competition Council. The Court ruled that the resolution should be returned to the Competition Council to resolve the issue of individualization, calculation and imposition of fine. The Court stated the fact that the Competition Council wrongly accused the Subsidiaries with the violation of one of the provisions of the Competition Law. Moreover, the Court stated that the joint and liability was applied unreasonably and the amount of the fine imposed was disproportionate, non-individualized and inconsistent with the fines and practice of the EU. This judgment is not yet final nor enforceable and will be appealed.
