TGS Baltic has successfully represented the Estonian Transport Administration in two court cases against cleaning and maintenance service provider Krausberg Eesti.
According to TGS Baltic, the disputes arose from a 2020 contract in which Krausberg Eesti agreed to provide general cleaning and maintenance services for the administration's facilities. In March and April 2021, Krausberg Eesti claimed a fee of EUR 1.6 million for additional cleaning services, specifically charging EUR 100 per square meter for the removal of granite chippings – a rate more than 660 times the market price of approximately EUR 2,500 for such services. "The transport authority commissioned the service without knowing that the service provider intended to charge an abnormally high price. Nor did the service provider warn the administration of the anomalous price, which is to be expected of contractors acting in good faith. The administration tried to challenge the price and negotiate, but as no agreement could be reached, the cleaning company filed a lawsuit. However, the claim was rejected by the court."
The TGS Baltic team included Partner Chirag Mody and Senior Associate Carel Kivimaa.
