The court in Sosnovy Bor defended the rights of the buyer who bought a defective car

Sosnovoborsk city court considered a civil case on the claim of the consumer to the automaker after buying a faulty car. The buyer demanded to pay him a penalty of more than 960 thousand rubles, reimburse the cost of installing additional equipment in the amount of more than 280 thousand rubles and pay a consumer fine. Details were told by the press service of the Sosnovoborsk City Court.

In court, it was found that the plaintiff purchased a car, in the course of operation of which a deficiency was revealed that prevented the start of the engine. Within the 45-day period established by law, the deficiency was not eliminated. Subsequently, the manufacturer returned the money to the plaintiff for the car and additional equipment. But in violation of the statutory deadlines.

The court concluded that the plaintiff has grounds for recovery of the penalty. But, taking into account the actions of the defendant on partial voluntary satisfaction of claims, reduced its size.

As a result, a penalty of 400 thousand rubles and a fine of 200 thousand rubles was recovered from the defendant. The Court of Appeal upheld both judicial acts unchanged.
