Deferral of payment for goods sold: when this will be considered as material breach of contract

A company bought equipment from a firm that had gone bankrupt but did not effect payment for it in full in due time. The seller got tired of waiting for the remaining sum and decided to take legal action seeking termination of the purchase and sale agreement. Three courts rejected the plaintiff’s claim on the grounds that the agreement contained a condition stipulating payment of the price of goods sold in installments and the buyer had already paid more than half of the amount due. The Supreme Court of the Russian Federation explained where the lower courts were wrong.

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.

As the week draws to a close, an event occurred that the pharmaceutical industry had been waiting for in the course of more than one year. The Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade signed special investment contracts (SPIC's) with the Russian divisions of AstraZeneca and Sanofi.

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.
