adopted on 27.05.2026.  <\/span><\/span><br><\/i><\/p><p>The Senate examined an ancillary complaint regarding a decision of the Riga Regional Court, which refused to accept a statement of claim in a civil case for the recognition of shareholder meeting decisions as void and the provision of information to a shareholder. The judge of the Economic Affairs Court, in refusing to accept the statement of claim, had recognized that the deadline provided in the Commercial Law for bringing an action to recognize a shareholder meeting decision as void had passed. Since the meeting took place on July 31, the three-month substantive preclusive period was deemed to have ended on October 30, but the statement of claim was submitted to the court on October 31.   <\/p><p>In the Senate&#8217;s view, substantive deadlines derived from legal norms, counted in years, months, weeks, and days, are to be calculated in full days and begin on the day following the event from which the deadline is to be counted. In the case at hand, the three-month substantive preclusive period began on August 1, or the day after the shareholder meeting. Consequently, the last day of the period is October 31, which is the date corresponding to the day of the event that triggered the period\u2014namely, the holding of the shareholder meeting\u2014after three months.\u202f    <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-80a825b elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"80a825b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" id=\"nekustamie-ipasumi-buvnieciba\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">REAL ESTATE AND CONSTRUCTION  <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-603852d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"603852d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Draft Legislative Acts<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fa1122f elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fa1122f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" id=\"tiesa-atzina-ka-pasvaldiba-pamatoti-likusi-nojaukt-zogu-un-vartus-kas-prettiesiski-izbuveti-ielas-sarkanajas-linijas-un-trauce-satiksmes-infrastrukturas-izmantosanu\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h6><span class=\"TextRun SCXW59319701 BCX8\" lang=\"LV-LV\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW59319701 BCX8\" data-ccp-parastyle=\"1st level (heading)\" data-ccp-parastyle-defn=\"{\"ObjectId\":\"2adaac41-52e5-5bec-b074-aed592229426|1\",\"ClassId\":1073872969,\"Properties\":[469775450,\"1st level (heading)\",201340122,\"2\",134234082,\"true\",134233614,\"true\",469778129,\"1stlevelheading\",335572020,\"1\",134224900,\"true\",469777841,\"Aptos\",469777842,\"Times New Roman\",469777843,\"Times New Roman\",469777844,\"Aptos\",469769226,\"Aptos,Times New Roman\",335551547,\"2057\",335559740,\"240\",201341983,\"0\",335559739,\"120\",335559738,\"120\",335551550,\"6\",335551620,\"6\",335560102,\"0\",134245418,\"true\",469775498,\"Normal\",201342446,\"1\",201342447,\"5\",201342448,\"1\",201342449,\"1\",201341986,\"1\",268442635,\"22\"]}\">&#8220;<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW59319701 BCX8\" data-ccp-parastyle=\"1st level (heading)\">Amendments to the Construction Law&#8221; adopted in the 2nd reading (<\/span><\/span><a class=\"Hyperlink SCXW59319701 BCX8\" href=\"https:\/\/titania.saeima.lv\/LIVS14\/saeimalivs14.nsf\/webSasaiste?OpenView&#038;restricttocategory=1301\/Lp14\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><span class=\"TextRun Underlined SCXW59319701 BCX8\" lang=\"LV-LV\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW59319701 BCX8\" data-ccp-charstyle=\"Hyperlink\">Draft Law No. 1301\/Lp14<\/span><\/span><\/a><span class=\"TextRun SCXW59319701 BCX8\" lang=\"LV-LV\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW59319701 BCX8\" data-ccp-parastyle=\"1st level (heading)\">)<\/span><\/span><\/h6>\n<p><i><br><span class=\"EOP SCXW235994364 BCX8\" data-ccp-props=\"{\"201341983\":0,\"335551550\":6,\"335551620\":6,\"335559738\":120,\"335559739\":120,\"335559740\":240}\">Adopted in the 2nd reading on 28.05.2026.   <\/span><br><\/i><\/p>\n<p>The amendments provided in the law will stipulate that construction work could be started in one stage while the detailing of subsequent stages is still ongoing. The consent of a co-owner is not required if the residential building is not divided into apartment properties and the construction intention provides for construction work in a group of rooms in separate use, insofar as these construction works do not affect other parts of the building in joint ownership. The construction initiator may request that the installation, restoration, or reconstruction of external and internal engineering networks necessary for the operation of the building be provided as conditions for the acceptance of the building for operation, without checking within the framework of the fulfillment of design conditions. The construction of a new building, the placement or reconstruction of a building can be carried out in stages if a construction permit is required for the performance of construction work, by determining and justifying these construction work stages in the construction project. A construction work stage can be started if a construction project at the level of technical project detailing has been developed for the respective stage, a note on the fulfillment of the design has been made regarding this stage, and the conditions for starting construction work have been met.    <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3ceeb28 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3ceeb28\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Industry News<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-61ca24e elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"61ca24e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" id=\"seminars-buvekspertizes-nakotne-maksligais-intelekts-izaicinajumi-un-attistibas-virzieni\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h6><span class=\"TextRun SCXW215436109 BCX8\" lang=\"LV-LV\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW215436109 BCX8\" data-ccp-parastyle=\"1st level (heading)\" data-ccp-parastyle-defn=\"{\"ObjectId\":\"2adaac41-52e5-5bec-b074-aed592229426|1\",\"ClassId\":1073872969,\"Properties\":[469775450,\"1st level (heading)\",201340122,\"2\",134234082,\"true\",134233614,\"true\",469778129,\"1stlevelheading\",335572020,\"1\",134224900,\"true\",469777841,\"Aptos\",469777842,\"Times New Roman\",469777843,\"Times New Roman\",469777844,\"Aptos\",469769226,\"Aptos,Times New Roman\",335551547,\"2057\",335559740,\"240\",201341983,\"0\",335559739,\"120\",335559738,\"120\",335551550,\"6\",335551620,\"6\",335560102,\"0\",134245418,\"true\",469775498,\"Normal\",201342446,\"1\",201342447,\"5\",201342448,\"1\",201342449,\"1\",201341986,\"1\",268442635,\"22\"]}\">Seminar &#8220;The Future of Building Expertise: Artificial Intelligence, Challenges, and Development Directions&#8221;

The amendments also provide for greater flexibility in reviewing the tariff structure in cases where the volumes of electricity consumption or produced electricity change significantly.

It follows from the indictment that the defendants purchased an endangered wild animal of the order Carnivora\u2014an American puma\u2014in the Czech Republic. After transporting the puma to Latvia, it was first handed over to the possession of one defendant, but shortly thereafter taken to the residence of the second defendant, who subsequently kept it for several months in conditions that did not meet animal welfare and safety requirements in an unregistered keeping place. The Riga District Court had found the defendants not guilty and acquitted them, but the Riga Regional Court found them guilty, fining each of them 3,500 euros and recovering expenses for the storage of the puma as physical evidence, which exceeded the amount of the fine nearly five times.   <\/p><p>The Senate recognized that the appellate court correctly established that the defendants objectively violated the prohibition set out in the Animal Protection Law, but had not fully clarified whether they violated this prohibition knowingly (intentionally). The Senate points out that the appellate court had not evaluated the defendant&#8217;s defense position that the puma was registered in the same manner as one of the defendants had previously registered other wild animals. Furthermore, the court had not evaluated the evidence submitted by the defense that the Nature Conservation Agency, in another case of puma registration, had possibly allowed the same registration procedure as followed by the defendants. When re-examining the case, the court will have to verify the intent of each defendant during the animal acquisition process, including taking into account the danger of the specific animal, as well as re-evaluate the admissibility of the evidence submitted by the defense.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b0c4e90

specified in the law on municipalities\u2014the development of sports structures. After the municipality&#8217;s decision was made, the co-owners of the real estate had sold their undivided shares in separate transactions to the defendant without offering the municipality the opportunity to exercise its right of first refusal. The municipality brought an action in court against the defendant to achieve the exercise of the right of redemption on the acquired real estate. The Vidzeme District Court and the Vidzeme Regional Court dismissed the claim, recognizing that in the respective transactions, not the real estate but only its undivided shares were alienated, and that in such a case, the right of first refusal or redemption does not belong to the municipality but to the other co-owners.   <\/p><p>The Senate recognized that no interest of the co-owners in exercising the right of first refusal, which should be given priority over the interests of the municipality, was identifiable in the case. In the first transaction, the other co-owner did not use their right to claim the first co-owner&#8217;s undivided share, while at the time of the second transaction, the former first co-owner no longer had any. Therefore, the municipality was entitled to exercise the right of first refusal, but since this was no longer possible in the case at hand, it must be granted the right of redemption by analogy.  <\/p><p>The Senate recognized that according to the legal regulation in force at the time of the transaction, the defendant had an obligation to ensure that the right of first refusal was offered, but it failed to do so. The court clarified the formulation of the claim and recognized the municipality&#8217;s ownership rights to the real estate on the basis of the right of redemption.
