The Arcádia Parties brought a motion to compel Alexey Kondratiev to attend an examination in aid of execution and produce documents to collect on three outstanding cost orders totaling $236,250.
The Kondratiev Parties brought a cross-motion to remove counsel for the Arcádia Parties (three of which are dissolved corporations) and to vacate writs of seizure and sale, arguing that the dissolved corporations lacked legal capacity to instruct counsel or receive payments.
The court granted the Arcádia Parties' motion, compelling the examination and document production, and dismissed the Kondratiev Parties' cross-motion, finding their arguments to be a transparent attempt to evade payment of costs.
The court awarded $20,000 in partial indemnity costs to the Arcádia Parties.
