At the request of a client represented by TARK GRUNTE SUTKIENE, Tallinn Circuit Court stayed the execution of the detailed plan of the Port of Saaremaa and granted the application for interim relief on 26 August 2013.
According to the detailed plan, the current cruise port was to be turned into a cargo port and an industrial park was to be built on the territory of the port. The court considered the arguments put forward in the actions to be relevant and the interests of the persons challenging the detailed plan of the Port of Saaremaa to be essential, allowing the use of the port as a cargo port only based on currently existing buildings and according to the number of cruise ships permitted and conditions established by the earlier plan. The proceedings will continue at the court of first instance.
