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.

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.

"Serdyukov’s dacha" is still in civilian life

Arbitration Court will consider an appeal of the Military Prosecutor’s Office in relation to a dispute over the legality of privatization of the land plot located outside Anapa, on which the so-called "Serdyukov’s dacha" is situated. The decision to return the land plot to the state, which was rendered earlier, has been overridden by the Supreme Court; at the new hearings, the court took the side of the land plot buyer, i.e. CityEngineering LLC. The territory in dispute was transferred to the military department in 2010 at the request of Anatoly Serdyukov, Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation; afterwards, the plot was sold as a non-core asset for 110 million roubles. According to lawyers, the state has legal opportunities to settle the dispute in its favor.

A company's general director will be responsible for its debt

On December 8th, the Constitutional Court of Russia (CC) published a resolution in which it confirmed the legitimacy of decisions made by the courts that sought to recover corporate debt from company managers. However, in order to penalize someone in the position of general director in this fashion, the court must first exhaust all possibilities to recover the debt from the legal entity, then exclude the legal entity from the relevant register, and only then require that a company manager personally return the debt.

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.
