Petya Slavova said for Bivol that this was a civil claim against Ivan Bakalov for personal insults and slander, not against the media e-vestnik. Slavova\u2019s claim, filed by lawyer Ivan Minkov, is not for 100,000 levs, but for 25,000 levs. She denied any connection with Mandzhukov\u2019s death and is indignant that Ivan Bakalov is making biased insinuations about her regarding this death. Mandzhukov, she says, was known for a long tax-crimes rap sheet and posed as a “businessman” while it was not clear what exactly the business was. \u201cBecause I am woman, is it presumed that I cannot I defend myself?! Bakalov should submit the evidence in court,\u201d said Slavova under her right of reply.<\/p>\n
Petya Slavova promised to send her lawyer to the press at BTA conference on Tuesday, October 23rd, to show her original claim.
\nThe Claim was sent to Bivol\u2019s editors by Ivan Bakalov. Pages 10 and 11 show that the damage is estimated at 100, 000 levs, but Petya Slavova\u2019s legal claim against our colleague is for 25,000 levs. It is specified that the amount is claimed as a “partial claim from the amount of 100,000 levs”. This is called a “pioneer case” in legal language. If won by the plaintiff, it is possible that a new claim will follow for the higher amount, but this is just an assumption. However, if the case is won by the defendant, the probability of subsequent proceedings in the same case is eliminated. When there is a smaller damage claim, the cases are tried by a lower Court instance, respectively the Court fees and the attorney’s fees that litigants have to pay are smaller.<\/p>\n
