A Moscow court has ordered businessman Sergei Polonsky to pay 25 million rubles to fellow businessman Oleg Deripaska after partially upholding a claim Deripaska filed to protect his honor and dignity, according to Kommersant, citing information published on the court's website.
The Simonovsky District Court of Moscow granted the claim in part, according to the case record cited in the report, though the available source material does not specify the statements or actions by Polonsky that prompted the lawsuit.
Honor-and-dignity claims are a type of civil defamation action under Russian law, typically filed when a plaintiff argues that public statements have damaged their reputation.
Limited detail
The report does not indicate whether Polonsky plans to appeal the ruling, nor does it include a response from him or his representatives. Both Deripaska and Polonsky are prominent, and at times controversial, figures in Russian business circles.
