Moscow's Ninth Arbitration Court of Appeal has upheld a 129.8 million ruble ($4 million) claim filed by property developer Inteco against City Hall, the court's press service said, Interfax reported.
The court rejected an appeal by City Hall against a court ruling in favor of Inteco.
Inteco is seeking compensation for the construction of a kindergarten on Popov Proyezd in the Arco di Sole housing complex.
City Hall did not pay Inteco for the project, arguing that the area of the facilities exceeded the one stipulated by the contract. City Hall filed an $800,000 counterclaim against Inteco, seeking damages for the increased burden on infrastructure.
Yelena Baturina, the wife of former Moscow Mayor Yury Luzhkov, previously controlled Inteco. It was sold to businessman Mikhail Shishkhanov in September 2011.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
