New Engineering Technology filed a lawsuit against the Kiev Tax Administration in hopes to void the Administration’s decision to apply financial sanctions against them. The Tax Administration conducted an inspection of the Hyatt, a hotel which belongs to New Engineering Technology, and found them to be in violation of Article 17 of Act No. 481/95, which prohibits the storing of tobacco products without excise stamps. New Engineering Technology disputes the charge, arguing that excise stamps should be the responsibility of manufacturers. The Court ruled in favor of New Engineering Technology.
