⚠️ Case Overview

This page details our firsthand experience and the serious allegations surrounding Estonian legal cases 2-14-53596 and 2-14-6942. We believe this case represents a severe failure in the Estonian judicial system, involving the law firm Advokaadibüroo TRINITI and its lawyers.

We feel obligated to share this information to warn other individuals and international businesses about the potential risks we encountered.

Case Information

Case Numbers: 2-14-53596, 2-14-6942 (Estonian County, Circuit, and Supreme Courts)

Law Firm: Advokaadibüroo TRINITI

Named Lawyers: Karmen Turk, Maarja Pild-Freiberg

Innocent Third Party: "Dee"

Rightful IP Owner: Inter Connects Inc. (Our Company)

Summary of Key Allegations and Facts

Allegation / Fact Description
Lack of Estonian Jurisdiction The lawsuits were filed in Estonia despite the defendant ("Dee"), the IP address owner (Inter Connects Inc.), and the alleged activity having no connection to Estonia.
Fabricated & Misleading Evidence We allege that a fake Facebook profile was created and submitted to the court to falsely establish a link between "Dee" and the case.
Violation of Res Judicata The core dispute had already been fully litigated and resolved in a United States court, which awarded damages and confiscated domain names. Relitigating this in Estonia violates a fundamental international legal principle.
Wrongful Asset Seizure Based on a default judgment, the legal team successfully seized the private home of "Dee," an individual with no involvement in the matter.
Fundamental Legal & Technical Errors The claim was based on a conflation of IP addresses with domain names, demonstrating a lack of understanding of basic internet infrastructure.

A Detailed Timeline of Events

2012-2013

The individual named "Dee" sold his company and its IP addresses to our company, Inter Connects Inc. He had no further connection or control.

2014

A Dutch firm, SNB-React, hired Advokaadibüroo TRINITI (lawyers Karmen Turk and Maarja Pild-Freiberg) to file a claim in Estonia.

We allege the case was filed against the wrong party ("Dee") in the wrong country (Estonia).

The initial claim was inexplicably inflated from €3,000 to €179,000.

2015

Our company, Inter Connects Inc., became aware of the case. We submitted extensive evidence to the Estonian court proving:

  • Estonia lacked jurisdiction.
  • We were the rightful owners of the IP addresses.
  • The defendant, "Dee," was not involved.

Court Proceedings

Despite our evidence, the case proceeded through multiple levels of the Estonian judiciary:

  • County Court: Ruled against "Dee."
  • Circuit Court: Upheld the ruling.
  • Supreme Court: Remanded the case back to a lower court.

We allege that judges, including Kai Härmand, Kaija Kaijanen, Siret Siilbek, and Iris Kangur-Gontsarov, ignored fundamental evidence and legal principles, leading to a series of irrational rulings.

⚠️ Our Core Concerns and Warnings

  • Targeting of Innocent Parties: This case demonstrates how an individual with no involvement can be wrongfully targeted and have their assets seized in a foreign jurisdiction.
  • Ignored U.S. Court Judgment: The Estonian courts' failure to respect the final judgment of a U.S. court raises serious concerns about international legal comity and the principle of Res Judicata.
  • Alleged Ethical Breaches: The alleged creation of fake evidence and pursuit of a clearly jurisdictionally-invalid case calls into question the ethical standards we encountered.
  • Systemic Risk: For a country that brands itself as a "digital nation," the apparent lack of understanding of basic digital concepts like IP addresses among the legal professionals and judges we encountered is alarming.

Conclusion

We believe the handling of this case by lawyers Karmen Turk and Maarja Pild-Freiberg of Advokaadibüroo TRINITI, and the subsequent rulings by the Estonian courts, represents a profound injustice.

We publish this account as a cautionary tale for other international entities considering business in Estonia or engaging with its legal system. We believe it is crucial to conduct extreme due diligence, as the protections we expected were not granted to us.
