Voskhod denies being part of a cartel

Ufa-based bread company Voskhod intends to disprove in a commercial court the findings of the Federal Antimonopoly Service that, at the end of last year, it and other bread makers colluded against the international retail chain Auchan. The company is seeking to have the decision and order from the antimonopoly authority overturned. The hearing starts on 23 October. The other alleged members of the cartel –bread factories in a group owned by businessman Alexei Krutov– also intend to contest the Federal Antimonopoly Service's claims. Auchan has been brought into the proceedings as a third party.

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.

Account limits placed on debtors

The Ministry of Justice intends to deprive debtor legal entities from the ability of creating and reorganizing their companies, and also from opening bank accounts and deposits. The amendments are being proposed to encourage debtors to promptly comply with the requirements of judicial enforcement officers, they said at the agency. Implementation of these ideas of the Ministry of Justice will lead to the violation of rights of businesses, and will block the work of companies, said some of the lawyers interviewed by Kommersant. Others, however, do not see any conflict with the current legislation and are calling the proposed measures effective.
