In April 2019, 42 Telecom Limited (a Maltese company) entered into a telecommunications services agreement with Symplify Technologies AB, a company registered in Sweden. Under this agreement, 42 Telecom provided telecoms services to Symplify over a period of time. Symplify failed to pay for the services provided, accumulating a substantial debt. 42 Telecom brought proceedings in the Maltese Civil Court to recover the outstanding amounts. The court found in favour of 42 Telecom and ordered Symplify Technologies to pay €443,118.70 together with legal interest from the date of judgment until actual payment, and all legal costs.

Plaintiff won. Symplify Technologies AB ordered to pay €443,118.70 plus legal interest from judgment date and all legal costs.

• Maltese courts have jurisdiction over international commercial disputes where the contract was performed in Malta or the defendant can be served here
• A Maltese court judgment against a foreign company can be enforced in other EU countries under the Brussels Regulation
• Companies providing services under a contract are entitled to payment for those services even if the other party disputes the amount
• Interest at the legal rate runs from the date of judgment, making delayed payment increasingly expensive for the debtor
