The Bucharest Court of Appeals admitted the claim filed by the Joint Venture Azvi/Ascale Construcție, represented by Nestor Nestor Diculescu Kingston Petersen (NNDKP) and consequently obtained a decision imposing the Romanian National Company for Highways and National Roads (CNADNR) to sign the contract for the rehabilitation of DN 76 Ștei – Beiuș.
NNDKP assisted and represented Azvi/Ascale Construcție both in court and in the administrative proceeding before the National Council for Solving Complaints (CNSC), which resulted in a decision ordering the authority to sign the public procurement contract. The contracting authority had annulled the procedure two years after announcing the successful tender, after avoiding the execution of the contract throughout this entire period.
“The solution of the Bucharest Court of Appeals confirms the initial result of the public tender held during 2008-2009 and at the same time creates the precedent whereby an authority is obligated pursuant to a judicial decision to sign a public procurement contract. This decision is the result of the compelling legal arguments arising out of the joint effort of NNDKP’s litigation and public procurement teams, coordinated by partners Adina Chilim-Dumitriu (public procurement) and Radu Damaschin (dispute resolution)”, states Ana Diculescu-Șova, senior partner and head of the dispute resolution department.
Azvi Group is one of the largest Spanish holding companies, with branches all over the world and with a portfolio comprised of companies that operate in fields such as: constructions (Azvi), concessions (Cointer), real estate and urban development (Azvi Inmobiliaria), railway transportation (Tracción Rail), hotel management and services (Azvi Gestión y Servicios).
