MOSCOW, October 4 - RAPSI. The Moscow Commercial Court has held against opposition leader Alexei Navalny's lawsuit against the Zamoskvoretsky District Bailiffs Department, the court told the Russian Legal Information Agency (RAPSI/rapsinews.com) on Thursday.

Transneft has been attracted to the case as a third party.

"We took Transneft to court to get them to provide us with copies of the minutes of its board meetings," Navalny's attorney Dmitry Volov said. "We won the lawsuit and Transneft sent us the documents. But when we received the parcel - three boxes - we realized that some were missing."

He added that they then took the matter to the bailiff's service, which said the company does not have to provide a number of documents - a statement that runs counter to the court's ruling.

During the hearing on Thursday, the bailiff's lawyer said the documents were provided in full in accordance with the decision.

"The documents that the applicant is referring to cannot be given to Navalny because he does not have sufficient shares to receive them," the lawyer said.

Navalny is a minority shareholder of several major Russian state-owned companies. In 2010, he filed lawsuits against these companies to access corporate information. The companies argued that the claims amount to nothing more than an abusive fishing expedition for harmful information.
The Moscow Commercial Court satisfied Navalny's lawsuit in February. It obligated Transneft to provide him the minutes of its board meetings. All the appeals courts held in favor of the decision.
As soon as the cassation court passed its judgment in late July, Transneft provided all the documents that Navalny had requested.
Transneft turned to the Supreme Commercial Court with a request to reconsider the lower court decisions on September 1. The three judge panel dismissed the appeal on September 2.
