Generally, the responsibility for interpreting foreign laws lies with the state commercial court. Parties have a right, but are not obliged to, render assistance and provide the court with information concerning statutory provisions of foreign laws. However, if the content of the foreign law is not ascertained with reasonable expediency, Russian law applies. Anastasia Cheredova, Head of the Special Projects Group, clarified the European magazine 'CEE Legal Matters' on the Russian approach to the nature of foreign law, methods of proof, as well as pitfalls that parties may face.

Are there any boundaries for customs inspections?

Starting August 30, 2017 some amendments to Federal Law No. 311-FZ “On customs regulation in the Russian Federation” (hereinafter Law No. 311-FZ) entered into force that provide for the potential to both introduce a ban on trading certain types of goods in Russia and expand the authority enjoyed by customs agents. During a “sanctions standoff,” legislators came to the conclusion that adopting measures to ban importing certain types of goods into the country might not prove sufficient – so they permitted imposing restrictions on importing, storing, acquiring, or otherwise trading them inside Russian borders (this includes people acquiring them for their personal use).

The powers of the representative are evident from the situation: trends in judicial practice

The subjects of civil law relations can acquire their rights and accept their responsibilities either personally or through their representatives. In the vast majority of cases, the power to act as a representative is given by issuing a power-of-attorney (if this involves people who are not legal representatives) that is either notarized or in simple written form. However, law also provides for the possibility of representing an individual’s interests without a document like a power-of-attorney that grants such authorization. You can read in this material about the cases where authorized representatives can represent a company’s interests without having a power-of-attorney, as well as how to prove that this authorization is valid.
