      Nizhny Novgorod business ombudsman Pavel Solodky helped a local clothing manufacturer avoid a large fine. Thanks to his intervention, an administrative penalty of 250,000 rubles was replaced with a warning. The regional business ombudsman’s press service reported on the case.

      The situation arose after the microenterprise was held liable for the late submission of environmental reports to Rosprirodnadzor’s Interregional Department. However, the fine notice arrived at the organization late — two months after it had been issued.

      Upon learning of the sanction, the company’s representatives turned to the business ombudsman for help. Pavel Solodky promptly prepared a complaint and a petition to restore the missed appeal deadline. Subsequently, the ombudsman’s representative personally took part in the court hearings, defending the entrepreneur’s interests.

      As a result, the Kanavinsky District Court of Nizhny Novgorod granted the petition, restored the appeal deadline, and decided to replace the monetary penalty with a warning.

      “We are glad that we were able to help the entrepreneur avoid serious financial consequences caused by a bureaucratic delay. This case demonstrates the importance of timely intervention by the business ombudsman in protecting the lawful interests of entrepreneurs,” Pavel Solodky said.

      Earlier reports stated that Pavel Solodky helped restore the rights of 70 Nizhny Novgorod entrepreneurs.
