Deputies seek settlement

The Volgograd Administration has enlisted the support of the City Council for redoing a settlement agreement with creditors of MUP VKKh, whose property has already been handed over to Kontsessii Nagreva LLC (member company of the Leader Group). Lenders have challenged this procedure. Observers believe that the Mayor’s Office would not be seeking a settlement agreement, without being confident that it will not be challenged.

Fast and cheap: lawyers argue about the various schemas for simplified bankruptcy of individuals

The law on the bankruptcy of individuals, contrary to expectations, did not become a panacea for the vast majority of debtors: during the thirteen months of its existence, a little more than 1,000 Russian citizens have been recognized as bankrupt. The stumbling block seems to be the high cost and complexity of the procedure itself. However, this situation may be reversed with the introduction of a simplified schema for the bankruptcy of individuals, who find themselves in really devastating situations. Such amendments to the law were almost simultaneously proposed by the Ministry of Economic Development and the Russian Union of Self-Regulated Organizations of Arbitration Managers (RUSROAM). Pravo.ru compared the texts of the two bills, and asked lawyers to comment on them.

Restricting the rights of minority shareholders will deprive them of the possibilities of challenging transactions

The Ministry of Economic Development has prepared amendments to the law “On Joint Stock Companies”, aimed not only at simplifying the approval of related party transactions, but also to make the challenging of transactions by shareholders more difficult. Experts believe that this is a very controversial initiative, because it exacerbates the already unenviable position of minority shareholders.

Lawyers are challenging, in the Constitutional Court, the right of courts to limit legal fees

An “affiliate” of the Shell Oil Company has turned to the RF Constitutional Court with an appeal against the judicial practice of reducing the costs of legal services to be recovered from the losing party. Earlier this year, the RF Supreme Court set a “reasonable” amount of legal costs, but the company believes that when setting compensation, the courts should take into account the market conditions, rather than the “lowest possible” price for services. Pravo.Ru asked representatives of the legal community, whether they thought the concern’s position was justified, and whether there is an equitable way out of this situation.

“Melodia” not in harmony

Melodia LLC has applied to the Arbitration Court of the Samara Oblast with a new lawsuit against the Regional Ministry of Transport, in which the company is seeking an easement (the right to use another's property) on the part of the Nota Shopping Centre, located within the boundaries of the bend of the Moskovskoye Highway. We should note that this litigation between the Regional Ministry of Transport and Melodia LLC, due to the construction by the latter of a shopping centre, has been going on for several years already. Last week, in the appellate court, the Ministry was able to have satisfied its demand to have the Nota SC demolished. The prospects of Melodia’s new application, as far as lawyers are concerned, seem rather “dim”.

The latter company also wanted to take part in this auction, but was not allowed to participate in it.

Also at the request of Kapstroy, provisional measures were imposed, prohibiting the conclusion of the contract of sale between the Samara Printing House and Azimuth.

The year 2015: “binding” amendments, the Law on PPP, capital amnesty, and more

The traditional December poll by the EZH-Jurist newspaper of law practice professionals, on to how they viewed the events of the outgoing year, became a demonstration of pluralism rather than unanimity. The experts named a number of important events that occurred in 2015, but these all concerned different legal areas and, unlike as occurred in the year 2012, it proved impossible to define a common favorite. Just as well – the readers of the EZH-Jurist had the opportunity to review all of those, so very different, results.
