MOSCOW, December 7 - RAPSI. The East-Siberian District Federal Commercial Court has ruled to suspend the execution of the ruling to grant Rusal Investment Management documents and information about Norilsk Nickel's activities, the court told the Russian Legal Information Agency on Friday. The decision was made following an application submitted by Norilsk Nickel.

The ruling has been suspended until after the appeal proceedings in the cassation instance, which will consider Norilsk Nickel's application.

On October 31, the Third Commercial Court of Appeals left the Krasnoyarsk Territory Commercial Court's ruling in force to uphold Rusal Investment Management's lawsuit.

The company holds a 25-percent plus one share stake in Norilsk Nickel.

Rusal's press service has reported that the appeals instance has obtained all of the information requested for Rusal to control Norilsk Nickel's activities as envisaged by current legislation.

Norilsk Nickel is a diversified ore mining and smelting company, and the world's leading nickel and palladium producer. It operates industrial facilities in the Norilsk industrial region and on the Kola Peninsula in Russia, Finland, the United States, Australia, Botswana and South Africa.
