Successful debt recovery: how Acsour’s legal team protected a client’s interests in court

Legal Digest Articles
When a major manufacturing company faced non-payment from an individual entrepreneur, the situation appeared routine. However, a strategic legal approach transformed this dispute into a demonstrative case of effective accounts receivable recovery.

The Challenge and the Solution

In January 2025, our client was compelled to file a lawsuit due to accumulated debt for delivered goods and the counterparty’s refusal to fulfill its contractual obligations voluntarily. The claim included not only the principal debt but also the contractual penalty stipulated in the agreement.

A Professional Approach to the Case

The key to success lay in the systematic efforts of our legal team at every stage:

1. Pre-Litigation Preparation

We conducted a thorough analysis of the contractual terms, drafted a detailed claim with a calculated breakdown of demands, and formally submitted it to the debtor. This critical step—often overlooked by companies seeking shortcuts—can determine whether a court accepts or dismisses a case.

2. Building a Robust Evidence Base

The case file included not only standard contracts and delivery notes but also:

  • Signed reconciliation statements
  • Correspondence acknowledging the debt
  • Documentation confirming the authority of the parties involved

3. Effective Court Representation

Filing the claim under simplified proceedings accelerated the review process. When the defendant failed to submit substantive objections, the court promptly ruled in our client’s favor.

The Outcome Speaks for Itself

The court granted the client’s claims in full, including:

  • Full recovery of the principal debt
  • Payment of the contractual penalty
  • Reimbursement of legal costs

Notably:

  • The case was resolved without appeals
  • The client avoided personal attendance at hearings
  • All procedural deadlines were strictly adhered to

Why This Matters for Your Business

  • This case demonstrates that even "straightforward" debts require professional handling.
  • The quality of pre-trial preparation directly impacts the outcome.
  • Simplified proceedings offer a tangible way to save time and resources.
