A court in Irkutsk ordered a businessman to pay over 765,000 rubles to a buyer for delaying the production of a camper. The order was placed in autumn 2023 with a deadline of March 2024, but the finished module was delivered only at the end of August 2024, a delay of 157 days. The court awarded 500,000 rubles in penalties, 10,000 rubles for moral damages, and a 255,000 ruble fine for failing to meet demands voluntarily.
