In some disputes the Сlient appeared for the defense as the Supplier or Contractor as well as made claims being the employer under a contract. All claims were money related.

The funds in the amount of 35 million rubles were recovered in favor of the Client, and the claims to the Client in the amount more than 18 million rubles were dismissed (October 2011, decision of the Federal  North-West Region Arbitrazh Court).
