TGS Baltic senior associates Kedli Anvelt and Paul Varul successfully represented Marcel Vichmann’s company in filing a bankruptcy petition against Oliver Kruuda

TGS Baltic senior associates Kedli Anvelt and Paul Varul successfully represented Marcel Vichmann’s company OÜ Best Idea in filing a bankruptcy petition against Oliver Kruuda. This is a court action that started in May last year and was terminated by the order of the Estonian Supreme Court not to hear Oliver Kruuda's appeal against the court order.

This is a precedent-setting case in Estonian judicial practice, where Kruuda failed to avoid bankruptcy in Estonia even though he had started to conceal himself in Estonia to avoid bankruptcy proceedings and he managed to achieve the declaration of bankruptcy in Ireland before the declaration of bankruptcy in Estonia. The situation is unique because proceedings are taking place in Estonia and Ireland at the same time, and Estonian courts have found that an earlier bankruptcy order rendered in Ireland does not impede the conducting of Oliver Kruuda’s bankruptcy proceedings in Estonia.
