Reducing the size of the administrative penalty below the lower limit

Charging legal entities and individual entrepreneurs with administrative fines for various offences has acquired a mass character in recent years. A significant number of regulatory authorities (regional departments of the Federal Antimonopoly Service, tax authorities, customs control, Rospotrebnadzor, etc.), as well as the absence of qualified lawyers in organizations, which could prevent possible violations, has led to considerable financial losses for businesses, related to the payment of administrative fines.

Unsanctioned tariff manipulation during electric energy transmission

In recent years, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of disputes involving dishonest behavior on the part of individual organizations providing services related to electricity transmission networks. The conflicts between the parties are usually the refusal to pay for services involving the supply of electricity to those points that had not been initially specified in the contract, and which were not included in the tariff setting process. New points of delivery are obtained by unscrupulous network organizations after the approval of individual tariffs, which result in financial losses to their counterparties and an imbalance in the economic interests of participants of the power distribution market. One such case became the subject of consideration by the Judicial Board on Economic Disputes of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation.

Overview: the administrative responsibility for violation of the power consumption limitation mode

The problem of low payment discipline for energy is quite a big problem today, and so the legislators are trying to expand the list of methods to influence various groups of consumers, in order to improve payment discipline. These include administrative penalties, power consumption limitation modes, penalties, legal proceedings to recover debts, the provision of financial guarantees, and other methods. However, these mechanisms do not completely solve the problem, and meanwhile, the amount of accounts receivable for consumed energy keeps only increasing every year.

Termination of the use of water does not always exempt one from having to pay fees for the maintenance of water supply facilities

Currently, two types of tariffs for cold water can be set by regulators – flat-rate and dual-rate. The difference between these rates is that the dual-rate tariff includes payment by consumers not only for the actual consumption, but also a fee for the maintenance of cold water supply facilities.
