Boc’s town hall, humiliated in the LOMB process, will cost us all 10 million lei

The City Hall of Cluj-Napoca lost at the Cluj Court of Appeal the case related to the association for the Lomb project, which involved the construction of affordable housing for young people. A few years ago, Cluj-Napoca City Hall partnered with Impact Developer&Contractor SA for a project to build youth housing on Lomb Hill, but the project stalled and was shelved. Dissatisfied that the City Hall would not have respected its contractual obligations, the company sued the local administration in court.

The trial lasted several years, and now the Court of Appeal has found the private partner’s claims to be well founded. Therefore, the sentence confirms that the municipality did not fulfill its obligations and, as such, it is liable to pay.

4,597,447.38 lei moral damages, plus interest 5,454,461.52
