Primorsky Territory Arbitration Court Freezes Land Plot in Popular Shamura Bay Recreation Area
The Arbitration Court of Primorsky Territory has placed an injunction on a land plot in the popular Shamura Bay leisure zone, barring the tenant company from disposing of or altering the property. The interim measures were imposed on April 21 following a lawsuit by Vladivostok's Municipal Property Management Department, which is seeking to terminate the lease agreement and compel Shamura LLC to vacate the site at 11 Lazurny Bereg. The court's press service reported the decision.
According to case materials (No. A51-7661/2026), the lease for the 2,520-square-meter plot was signed in December 2006 for a 49-year term. The land was allocated for "beach zone improvement purposes." However, inspections by municipal property officials revealed that the area had effectively become an abandoned wasteland.
"Within the plot's boundaries stand several non-residential structures—gazebos—that are not used for their intended purpose and show signs of neglect. Additionally, part of the area is overgrown with vegetation and littered," the case files state.
After identifying the violations, the tenant was issued an order to remedy them, followed by a proposed termination agreement. Since the defendant failed to restore the site or sign the return agreement, the city administration filed suit to dissolve the lease and force the company to relinquish the land.
Concurrently with the lawsuit, the Municipal Property Management Department petitioned for interim measures, including a ban preventing Shamura LLC from transferring or modifying the plot, as well as prohibiting Primorsky Territory's Rosreestr office from registering any transactions involving it. The plaintiff argued that without such measures, the lessee's rights could be transferred to third parties, undermining enforcement of any future court ruling. The court found the reasoning compelling and granted the motion.
Under Russia's Arbitration Procedure Code, urgent temporary measures may be applied to preserve the status quo between disputing parties.
A preliminary hearing in the case is scheduled for June 18, 2026.
