Monopoly game: it makes no sense to increase the legal liability for cartel agreements

The Federal Antimonopoly Service of the Russian Federation proposes to increase the liability for business owners and broaden the powers of antimonopoly inspectors. The business community fundamentally disagrees with such proposal: Chamber of Commerce and Industry, RSPP and All Russia Public Organization "Delovaya Rossiya" sent a letter to the Prime Minister, Dmitry Medvedev, which describes the new changes as the risk of "unfounded squeeze on business, violation of the legitimate interests of entrepreneurs and corrupt abuse".

The Supreme Court explained what kinds of activities are considered entrepreneurial activity

Some of the disputes about holding companies liable for administrative offenses in accordance with the law should be reviewed by courts of general jurisdiction. However, that procedure is called for in those cases where the administrative offense did not take place during the process of performing entrepreneurial activity. The courts face the issue of determining whether supplying water is considered entrepreneurial activity on the part of a municipal public utility. Two lower-level courts issued their opinion that the answer was no. However, the Supreme Court delivered a different ruling.

And don't collude

The Ufa municipal administration and business owner Damir Muginovintend, via the arbitration courts, to exonerate themselves from suspicion involving concerted action, whereby Mr. Muginov received a plot of land for 15 million rubles on Zorge Street that he, in turn, resold for 140 million rubles. The Federal Antimonopoly Service of the Russian Federation declared the mayor’s office and Damir Muginov participants in this act of collusion in June. If the authority’s ruling enters into force, the parties to this unlawful agreement will pay major fines, and this raises the specter of disqualification for bureaucrats in the mayor’s office.

The Supreme Court set restrictions on antimonopoly control over procurement

The Supreme Court explained why it ruled that Alrosa was right in its dispute with the antimonopoly authorities. The company was looking for a contractor that would build a motor vehicle road for it up to an oilfield in northern Siberia, and during the procurement process it put forth a series of requirements for the contractor: it banned any subcontracting, and required a bank guarantee issued by a bank of its choice. The authorities decided that these conditions were unlawful because they restricted the number of participants in the procurement process. However, the Supreme Court arrived at the opposite opinion. The explanations it gave might be heartening for lawyers working for companies acting in the capacity of customers.
