The plaintiff wanted to receive not only 5.4 million rubles, but also 2.7 million rubles. fine, 1 million rubles. compensation for moral damage. And he also claimed a Mercedes-Benz bought with stolen money.
Three instances partially satisfied the claim: they recovered 5.4 million rubles from the thieves in his favor. The courts considered that there was no evidence in the case that the hotel was to blame for causing harm – it provided services properly. The non-property rights of the plaintiff were not violated, so he did not suffer moral damage. And Mercedes-Benz does not belong to criminals, but to a third party, so it cannot be recovered.
Supreme Court Verdict
The SC did not agree with this decision. Moral harm can consist not only in physical, but also in moral suffering. Since the criminals violated the inviolability of his home, it is obvious that moral damage was inflicted.
And although Mercedes-Benz was registered to a third party, it was bought with stolen money, the court stressed.
