The former head of the Slavyane Construction Company is declared bankrupt

The Arbitration Court of Rostov Oblast declared Yuri Pogiba, founder of the Slavyane GC, as bankrupt. The lawsuit was filed against the builder by a private individual who was owed a debt of 600,000 roubles. Claims against Mr Pogiba were also filed by the Vodokanal Company, which did not receive 12.5 million roubles for performed work, and was previously unsuccessful in having the court declare him bankrupt. According to the lawyer, this new application may well be an attempt to protect Yuri Pogiba from major lenders.

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.

Time for the court case to begin: what to do if proceedings do not start on time

All existing procedural codes contain a fixed rule: the judge must start court proceedings at the time that was appointed for the particular case (Art. 160 of Civil Procedure Code, Art. 261 of Criminal Procedure Code, and Art. 145 of Administrative Procedure Code). Unfortunately, this does not always happen. In practice, lawyers often spend more hours in the corridors of the courthouse, than on the trials themselves. Why is this happening? Can the parties walk away if the proceedings do not start on time, or is it better to wait for the trial? Who is responsible for the spent nerves, time and money?

Russky Dom unhappy with assignment of claim

Rostov-on-Don-based Russky Dom OOO has taken legal action to contest a credit agreement for RUB 1.39 billion with Russian Agricultural Bank (Rosselkhozbank) OOO, under which the former obtained the right of claim for distressed debt owed by the Mayak Group. Russky Dom expected to receive the debtor's assets pledged as collateral with the bank, but it emerged after the agreement had been signed that the collateral was significantly impaired. Russky Dom believed that the bank had kept this hidden, but the court of first instance sided with the bank, deeming the claimant's actions negligent.
