Port of Tallinn and TS Laevad appealed the judgement of Tallinn Circuit Court
In early June, the company described in its notice that Tallinn Circuit Court
decided to partially annul the decision of the Harju County Court of 27 June
2024, and made a new decision, being in consent with the prosecutor's office and
the victims that the acts alleged against Martin Paide and Toivo Promm must be
reclassified compared to what was stated in the county court's decision.
However, the circuit court agreed with the county court that Ain Kaljurand and
Allan Kiil were not public officials, and the decision of the Harju County Court
was left unchanged in this regard. The circuit court therefore dismissed the
appeal of the victims, Tallinna Sadam and TS Laevad OÜ, who requested to annul
the county court's decision not to process the civil claim.
Port of Tallinn and OÜ TS Laevad, as parties to the court proceedings, filed a
cassation appeal and request that the decision of Harju County Court of
27.06.2024 and the decision of Tallinn Circuit Court of 04.06.2025 in the
criminal case be annulled in the part in which the accusation was reclassified
as a private sector bribery offense, the proceedings were terminated due to the
statute of limitations, the civil action was dismissed, the measures taken to
secure the civil action were canceled, and the procedural costs of the victims
were not compensated.
The management board believes that based on known information, the above events
will not have a material adverse impact on the Group's financial performance or
financial position. Additional information about this case can be found in the
stock exchange announcements of 27 June 2024, 31 July 2024, 15 October 2024 and
4 June 2025.
