The Bucharest Court accepted, on Monday, the appeal filed by the company Straco Grup SRL regarding the termination by CNAIR of the contract for the Chețani-Câmpia Turzii section of the Transilvania Highway. The decision is enforceable, but can be appealed. The execution of the bank guarantee letter was also suspended.
The contract was terminated by CNAIR on March 11, after Transport Minister Cătălin Drulă announced that progress in the last five months was only 1%.
“With the works started in 2016, but reached in 2021 only in the stage below 40%, we cannot perform in the development of infrastructure and Romania in general. The advance in the last 5 months has been 1%. CNAIR terminated the contract today, “announced Cătălin Drulă.
The minister said that, in this section, the construction company entered into bankruptcy with unpaid subcontractors. A few days after the termination of the contract for the Chețani-Câmpia Turzii section of the Transilvania highway, aerial footage showed the image of the disaster.
Currently, the work already done begins to deteriorate.
Drula: “This contract has been practically dead for years”
Cătălin Drulă, Minister of Transport, said the decision will be appealed to the Court of Appeal.
There is an appeal and the appeal may present the arguments that demonstrate how the Straco company has operated only 1% in the last 6 months, how there were countless corrective notices to which they did not respond, how the contract 12 months is more than 5 years since it started and it’s only around 40 percent, “Cătălin Drulă told Digi24.
“This contract has been dead for years. You don’t work, you work in mockery. Unfortunately, they also launched bona fide subcontractors who worked for this insolvent company. Unfortunately, faced with this first decision, the Highway Company was unable to present its pleadings, at not to be summoned, being in an emergency procedure, but in the Court of Appeal it will be able and I am convinced that the justice will make a decision in the interest of Romanian Infrastructure ”, added the minister.
