Coal Mining Company LLP "Karazhyra Ltd" has addressed to City Court of Ust-Kamenogorsk with suit about protection of business reputation of legal entity to the newspaper “Flash” and journalists Sergei Vasilyiev. The charges originated from article “Our coal is bad, but we shall not take the best one in Kuzbass” and "On water, air and e.g." written by Sergei Vasilyiev, which was published on August 19, 2010 and February 03, 2011. Journalist has told about the quality of coal, which was mined on coal stripe mine of Karazhyra and Maykuba. This article was made by results of briefing and witnesses of inhabitants of oblast, who used the coal. This briefing was conducted by Assistant of Oblast Akim (Governor) Serik Taukebayev.

Servicemen of coal mining company LLP “Karazhyra Ltd” have thought that there was a publication of untruth information, which discredited the business reputation of legal entity. Defendants should publish a disclaimer and recover KZT1559735 (1USD=147.11) as moral damage.

Earlier, in April, 2011 servicemen of LLP "Karazhyra Ltd" have filed a suit about protection of business reputation to City Court of Ust-Kamenogorsk. Plaintiff has insisted on recovery of KZT15000000 as moral damage. The court has dismissed this suit in connection with failure to implement the pre-trial procedure of conflict settlement.
