ALTAMIR: Shareholder's action brought by Moneta Asset Management rejected; Moneta to pay damages for denigration campaigns

Paris, 28 April 2020 - Moneta had sued Maurice Tchenio and Altamir Gérance in Commercial Court for mismanagement of Altamir.

In a decision rendered on 17 April 2020, the Court rejected all of Moneta's claims and considered them sufficiently excessive to require Moneta to pay €200,000 to Maurice Tchenio for harm to his reputation and €100,000 to Altamir as financial damages.

The Court's decision was as follows:

• Moneta's application as a claimant relative to double invoicing of fees from 8 July 2013 was held admissible.
• All of Moneta's claims were rejected.
• Moneta was ordered to pay damages as follows:
  • €100,000 to Altamir,
  • €200,000 to Mr Tchenio.
• The Court fined Moneta as follows, under Article 700 of the Code of Civil Procedure:
  • €30,000 to Altamir,
  • €15,000 to Altamir Gérance,
  • €15,000 to Mr Tchenio.

• The other, broader claims of Altamir, Altamir Gérance and Mr Tchenio, and those contrary to the grounds of this decision were rejected.
• Provisional enforcement was ordered.
• Moneta was ordered to pay court fees, including those owing to the clerk, totalling €159.88, including VAT of €26.43.
