Dolina–Lurye Apartment Dispute Heads to Russia's Supreme Court as Buyer Seeks Deal's Validation

Court records say Dolina argued the buyer failed to show basic due diligence.

Overview

  • Russia's Supreme Court scheduled the case for December 16 after lower courts restored Dolina's title to the Moscow apartment.
  • Buyer Polina Lurye expects the justices to deem the purchase lawful, her lawyer said.
  • A court decision text reviewed by TASS states Dolina contended Lurye failed to exercise reasonable due diligence despite her real estate business profile.
  • Lurye currently has neither the apartment nor the funds from the purchase and has paid property tax of over 100,000 rubles as the registered owner.
  • In parallel, Dolina announced on Channel One that she would return the money in full, following an earlier proposal to pay 112 million rubles over three years.
