Lithuanian Court Upholds Insurance Compensation Ruling

Overview of the Court's Decision
ŽEMAITIJOS PIENAS, AB would like to share an important update following the ruling made by the Lithuanian Court of Appeal. The court addressed an appeal from the insurance company, Compensa Vienna Insurance Group. This significant ruling was related to a prior decision by the Vilnius Regional Court that rendered in favor of Žemaitijos Pienas.
Details of the Case
On a recent date, the Lithuanian Court of Appeal dismissed the Defendant’s appeal and confirmed the earlier judgment of the Vilnius Regional Court. The regional court had ruled in favor of Žemaitijos Pienas, validating their claim for insurance compensation in full.
Background of the Insurance Claim
This case arose from a severe weather event on July 1, 2021, during which heavy rainfall caused extensive damage to one of the Company's buildings, impacting the roof and supporting structures. The financial toll of the damage was considerable, totaling EUR 303,993.42, which is excluding VAT.
Insurance Coverage Issues
Following the unfortunate event, the insurance company only covered a portion of the damages, amounting to EUR 55,964.80, which left a substantial gap of EUR 248,028.62 that the Company felt was unjustly withheld. This led to the legal proceedings that culminated in the favorable ruling for Žemaitijos Pienas.
The Legal Implications of the Ruling
The ruling from the Lithuanian Court of Appeal is effective immediately and reinforces the decision made by the Vilnius Regional Court. While this is a significant victory for Žemaitijos Pienas, the insurance company retains the option to file a cassation appeal with the Supreme Court of Lithuania within the designated legal timeframe.
Next Steps for the Company
Žemaitijos Pienas is dedicated to recovering the full amount owed from the insurance claim, as confirmed by the court. This ruling emphasizes the importance of holding parties accountable in the insurance industry and reinforces the Company’s commitment to its financial stability and resilience.
