Consideration of the appeal of an entrepreneur from St. Petersburg about non-payment for the delivered goods was terminated by the Commissioner for the Protection of the Rights of an Entrepreneur in the Moscow Region in connection with payment for the executed contract. 

Thus, it was possible to resolve the conflict situation and avoid lengthy legal proceedings between the entrepreneur (limited liability company) and the federal budgetary institution. This was announced by the business ombudsman of the Moscow region Vladimir Golovnev.

The delivery of this equipment was carried out in full, the goods met the established standards.

After that, within the framework of the conditions fixed in the contract, the customer had to pay for the delivered goods. However, this did not happen even after the deadline for making payments - until the end of January 2021. 

“On this occasion, along with my representatives we  communicated with the leadership of the FBU. However, we have not been provided with information on when the payment will be made. We ask you to understand the current situation and help in resolving the issue of payment", the entrepreneur said in a statement.

"Guided by clause 1 of part 3 of article 10 of the Federal Law of 07.05.2013 No. 78-FZ" On Commissioners for the Protection of the Rights of Entrepreneurs in the Russian Federation ", it was decided to apply directly to the management of the federal budgetary institution to conduct an audit on the fact of inaction of officials of the institution subordinate to the FBU ", - explained the regional business ombudsman.
