Procedural and Legal Methods to Optimize Litigation. Judicial Reconciliation

The constant increase in the number of cases considered by the courts requires optimization of the judicial load. The article considers two directions of such optimization: improvement of the procedural and legal mechanism, as well as judicial reconciliation. There are three types of proceedings in the arbitration process: traditional (claim and public relations proceedings); simplified and writ proceedings. It is proposed to transfer most of the undisputed cases to notaries for their execution of the executive inscription. The main features of judicial reconciliation, as well as other procedural and legal norms that encourage the conclusion of a settlement agreement are considered: the return of the state fee, the extension of the limits and subjects of the settlement agreement, etc.

Keywords: settlement agreement, types of commercial proсеdure, executive inscriptions of notaries, judicial conciliators, limits of settlement agreement

Interaction between Arbitral Tribunals and National Courts on Issues of Interim Measures

This article is about problems of interaction between arbitral tribunals and national courts that arise when they introduce interim measures in support of arbitration. Generally, national courts participate in this procedure to secure compulsory compliance by the debtor with the adopted interim measures.

The author seeks to codify approaches to amending and lifting interim measures adopted by a national court and to enforcement of interim measures adopted by an arbitral tribunal. Special attention is given to claims for damages related to interim measures. The article gives a digest of Russian and foreign practice of interaction between arbitral tribunals and national courts in this area and summarises best practices for Russian courts on complex issues.

Reorganization of the Institution

An institution (mainly state-owned) is one of the most common organizational and legal forms in which legal entities are created and operate in the Russian Federation. Features of their legal regulation are regulated by numerous legal acts. The complex regulatory structure creates many questions about their reorganization. Unfortunately, the reform of civil legislation has not led to the optimization of this structure or to its improvement. The author demonstrates in the article the main problems that arise during the reorganization of institutions. It is concluded that it is necessary to further develop the reform of legislation both in the field of regulating the situation of institutions in General and in the reorganization of institutions.
