Event planner Armands Simsons won a civil lawsuit against “PromoStart” agency head Antra Sila, as Zemgale District Court fully dismissed Sila’s claims on September 15, according to the magazine “Kas Jauns”.

Zemgale District Court Dismisses Sila’s Claim Against Simsons
The legal dispute centered on public statements made by event host Armands Simsons regarding the agency “PromoStart” and its director, Antra Sila. According to Simsons’ prior public accounts, the agency severed their working relationship at the final hour. This last-minute cancellation prevented him from participating in the scheduled event surrounding the Latvian national hockey team’s game against Switzerland.
Following those public critiques, Antra Sila filed a lawsuit in the Zemgale District Court. Her legal action sought a formal retraction of information she argued damaged her honor and dignity, alongside demands for a public apology and financial compensation for moral injury. In its September 15 ruling, reported by “Kas Jauns”, the court rejected all aspects of Sila’s petition.
