OREANDA-NEWS. August 27, 2010. The 9th Arbitration Appeal Court dismissed the claim of “Infocom” CJSC challenging the ruling of Moscow Arbitration Court to dismiss the company claim on invalidating the decision and determination of the Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS Russia) of 18th November 2009, reported the press-centre of FAS Russia.

On 17th May 2010, the Moscow Arbitration Court confirmed legitimacy and reasonableness of the decision and determination issued by the Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS Russia) regarding “Infocom” CJSC.

On 18th November 2009 FAS Russia found that “Infocom” CJSC violated:

- Clause 4 Part 1 Article 10 of No.135-FZ Federal Law “On Protection of Competition”.

“Infocom” CJSC disagreed with the decision and determination of the antimonopoly authority and filed a lawsuit.

The Appeal Court also confirmed legitimacy of the FAS Russia’s decision.
