MOSCOW, April 27 - RAPSI. The Supreme Commercial Court has accepted Russian Railways' application to review a lower-court judgment upholding the Federal Antimonopoly Service's resolution that it breached antitrust law while holding transport fleet insurance tenders.

The Ninth Commercial Court of Appeals sided with Russian Railways in its lawsuit to quash the service's resolution and reversed the trial court's decision.

The Federal Antimonopoly Service found that Russian Railways broke competition law in January when it provided advantages to certain insurers in its tender for compulsory TPL motor vehicle and hull insurance contracts for corporate motor vehicles in 2009-2012.

Additionally, the watchdog noted that the requisite information about the vehicles to be insured was not presented in the tender documents, which prevented insurers from offering a competitive price and created advantages for the company that had previously insured the vehicles.

Russian Railways maintains that the tender was conducted in conformity with the law and its conditions were equal for all tenderers.

The VSK and Ingosstrakh insurance companies were involved in the case as third parties because they had complained about the violations.

The watchdog also appealed for the tender's cancellation, but the Moscow Commercial Court dismissed the appeal.
