DGKV overturned at first instance an unlawful refusal issued to a client for granting of economical subsidies under the so called “60/40 Measure”. The  measure was implemented by the Bulgarian Government under the Law on the State of Emergency to battle the economic downturns following the quarantine measures against the Covid-19 outbreak in the spring of 2020. With its coverage of 60% of the social- and health security income and of the security contributions owed by the employer, the measure is intended to be a lifebelt for companies and employees in the sectors most severely affected by the Covid-19 crisis. With the successful overturn of the unlawful refusal, the measure is set to serve its purpose to its fullest extent.

 

DGKV’s team included partner Youliana Naoumova, senior associate Nikola Minchev and associate Hristo Stoyanov.
