Failed to reach an agreement about development

The new 2.0 SPICs and the Development Fund may give a certain boost to priority areas – subject to the right choice of projects. However, they will not have a great impact on the development of infrastructure.

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.

Unpaid public utilities

Tighter government sanctions against defaulters for energy have not yet led to the desired results in the south of Russia. Consumer debt for natural gas and electricity continues to grow, and at an alarming rate especially in the North Caucasus, which remains the most problematic region of the country, in terms of the making payments for public utilities. Market participants believe that to reverse this situation, more active government intervention could be needed – in the formation of the correct tariffs for consumers and improving the legislative framework.

The “Code” for federal-level and municipal control

New Lawyer's Newspaper (Novaya Advokatskay gazeta) experts analyzed the proposed legislative amendments in detail, and for the most part gave them high marks. Specifically, one of them noted that the bill contains some fairly progressive provisions that channel the control function exercised by the state in a different direction once and for all: preventing transgressions, and not reacting to them when they are committed, will become a high priority, as well as mitigating risks that affect public health, people’s lives, and civil rights and freedoms.

Housing and utilities without a “back porch”

As of today, having energy suppliers sign direct contracts with the end users of utility services is the most effective way to ensure financial discipline vis-à-vis these end users; this was the opinion arrived at by participants at a roundtable “Delinquent payments for housing and utilities: judicial practice and high-priority issues in 2017”, held by Kommersant-Yug in the Rostov Region Industry and Trade Chamber. This boils down to managing companies not being able to handle the job they have concerning collecting payments from the general public – not only because they are not transparent, and because their own actions are not exactly legal, but also due to the fact that they do not have enough resources.

Lawyers suggest ways to eliminate laundering schemes that involve the Federal Bailiff Service

Bailiffs have become the linchpin in an impervious laundering scheme – one owing to which last year more than 16 million rubles “sailed abroad” out of Russia. The procedure represents a modification of the well-known “Moldavian scheme” that is now being legalized by authorities. How to deal with this problem from a legal standpoint, and whether there is a way out, was something talked out by lawyers surveyed by pravo.ru.
