Administrative Courts show they work quickly

22.11.2006

Tallinn Administrative Court turned down the application of the Estonian Architects Union to prohibit the demolition of a landmark conference center in central Tallinn. The court said that Architects Union does not have a right to apply for such prohibition as the demolition does not breach their rights. Earlier this month Tallinn City Government gave the developers a permit to demolish the "Sakala Keskus" conference centre. This act caught a lot of media attention as the permit was issued immediately after one of the leaders of the development company joined Center Party - a party that runs Tallinn City government. Prominent architects stood in defence of Sakala Keskus and claimed that this central limestone building which is actually in quite a good shape. The court reached a preliminary conclusion just within a couple of days.
