Mayor of Perm requests executive action to retrieve 14 million rubles from evangelists
In a significant development, the ongoing legal dispute between Perm City Hall and local Evangelists over the Lenin Palace of Culture has taken a turn. The city administration, through its press service, has reported that a ruling has been made against the evangelists.
The dispute centres around the standard rate of payment for using the land plot under the Lenin Palace of Culture. The city claims that the building was used for profit-making purposes, a claim the evangelists have disputed.
The ruling, final and binding, orders the evangelists to pay 10.4 million rubles in unjust enrichment, along with 3.5 million rubles in interest. This ruling marks a significant step in the ongoing dispute between the city and the evangelists.
However, the remaining amount the evangelists owe (0.1 million rubles) has not been addressed in this ruling. The evangelists argue that there is no rental agreement and that they are exempt from paying taxes due to being a religious organization.
The city initially claimed 14 million rubles, a claim that has been partially satisfied with this ruling. The first instance court ruled in favour of the city's arguments in June 2024. Despite the evangelists' attempts to appeal the decision in both the appellate court and the cassation court, their appeals were unsuccessful.
