ENAV Group Consolidated Financial Statements
An arbitration court has been entrusted with settling this dispute, as per the terms
of the contract, in order to establish the amounts receivable and amounts payable
between the parties. The arbitration should be completed by 2016. and consequently
the provision has been reclassified under current liabilities.
At 31 December 2015, the estimated costs associated with pending disputes, where
there is a risk of a possible adverse outcome has been assessed by the Group’s
lawyers - to amount to 1.2 million. It is noted further that with regard to another
dispute assessed as being possible by the Company’s lawyers, judgement is pending
and the concluding statements and responses have been filed. The case is especially
complex and involved, and the legal questions under discussion leave ample margin
for the Court’s discretion. Nevertheless, the plaintiff’s preliminary motions have not
been accepted, which leads one to presume a negative outcome for the demands by
applicant (who has the burden of proof). The Company has filed a counter-claim for
an indeterminate amount.
The item “provisions for other risks” increased in the period by € 1,792 thousand
following a provision made to cover certain amounts capitalised to property, plant
and equipment under construction, referring to works that may no longer be usable
in the future.
