Charge of corporate rights and the status of the chargee

The article discusses the nature of the rights of the chargee when encumbered by a charge of corporate participation rights. The author comes to the conclusion that the chargee, when exercising charged corporate rights, is not in a corporate legal relationship with a legal entity. The chargee cannot be held liable by the participants of the legal entity and the legal entity itself for improper performance of corporate obligations.

Keywords: charge, title security, corporate rights, fiduciary duties, subsidiary liability

Redeemable leasing and bankruptcy issues: theory and case law

The authors examine the SC RF legal views on buy-out leasing from the standpoint of the theory of leasing relations and practical implications. Particular attention is paid to the issues of bankruptcy of the lessee: the fate of the leased asset, super-collateralisation of obligations to the lessor and super-priority they get before other creditors. The authors conclude that the highest court has significantly developed previous case law and has developed approaches that allow for successful resolution of specific disputes. However, the theoretical foundation of these approaches has not yet been clearly formed, the institution of buy-out leasing is in an active stage of development.

Keywords: buy-out lease, lessee’s bankruptcy, netting of mutual obligations, supercollateralisation, superpriority of lessor

The model of negatory protection in Russian law and common law states. Comparative legal analysis.

Actio negatoria is a classic property law claim. The scope of its application are violations of property rights, which are not related to deprivation of possession. At the same time, the analysis of the practice of applying Article 304 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation demonstrates that when deciding on settling actio negatoria claim, courts often apply the tort law approach. This is largely due to the similarity of conflict situations to which a tort law and actio negatoria lawsuit are applied. Thus, for the common law system of England and the USA actio negatoria claim is terra incognita. Equivalents of actio negatoria in common law are represented in the group of tort claims — private nuisance and trespass to land. This article is devoted to the analysis of these torts, as well as the comparison of approaches of negatory protection in Russian and English law.

Keywords: actio negatoria, tort of private nuisance, common law, property law, tort law
