The court in the Usman district recovered from the construction company 6.1 million rubles for the unfinished house

The Usmansky District Court of the Lipetsk region considered a civil case on consumer rights protection and terminated the contract for the construction of a residential building.

A total of 6.1 million rubles were recovered from the construction company in favor of the plaintiffs. This was reported in the joint press service of the judicial system of the region.

As established by the court, the contract for the construction of the house was concluded in July 2024. However, the developer grossly violated the conditions: by the time of the trial, only the first stage of work was completed - the foundation was laid, and further construction actually stopped. In April 2026, customers sent a letter to the company about refusal to fulfill the contract, but it remained unsatisfied - then the dispute went to court.

Having studied the evidence presented, the court established the fact of non-fulfillment by the construction company of its obligations. Since the defendant did not complete the construction within the established timeframe, the plaintiffs' claims for termination of the contract were recognized as lawful and justified.

The court's decision terminated the contract. From the construction company in favor of the plaintiffs in equal shares recovered funds in the amount of 1 million 996 thousand 490 rubles, a penalty in the same amount, compensation for moral damage in the amount of 80 thousand rubles and a fine of 2 million 36 thousand 490 rubles. The total amount is more than 6.1 million rubles.

For customers, this decision means not only a return of invested funds, but also compensation for thwarted plans and moral costs. For the construction market – a reminder: the violation of deadlines and the stoppage of work turn into serious financial consequences for the contractor, up to fines in favor of the consumer.
