Support in defending against actions by an entity conducting so-called private debt collection
Recently, we have been supporting a client from the media industry in defending against actions taken by an entity engaged in debt collection activities. These actions are aimed at exerting pressure on the Client, including through announcements of disseminating information about alleged indebtedness, in order to force repayment of a disputed claim, the existence of which has not been established by a court judgment.
Actions taken
Due to the risk of disseminating information about the alleged debt, we filed an application for security measures, the purpose of which was to temporarily block the possibility of disseminating this information.
As a result of the submitted application, the Client obtained security in a key area. At the same time, while awaiting the finality of the order granting the security, we are continuing further actions aimed at the comprehensive and definitive protection of the Client’s interests.
Benefits of the actions taken
The security measure obtained provides the Client with temporary protection against actions that could infringe upon their good name. Another unquestionable benefit of the obtained security measure is the opportunity to conduct ongoing business activities with minimal disruption, despite being involved in court proceedings aimed at obtaining definitive legal protection.
