The Presidium of SAC RF approved the “guaranteed retention”

Retention of a part of the payable price of work results, is a fairly common method used for the enforcement of warranty obligations of the contractor. In reviewing this kind of dispute, the courts, as a rule, did not see anything objectionable in the contractual terms, according to which part of the price of work would be paid by the customer to the contractor only after the warranty period expired. However, in cases where the obligation to pay for work are stipulated by the parties as dependant on the occurrence of an event, which does not meet the grounds of inevitability, the courts recognized this condition as contrary to Article 190 of the RF Civil Code. Analysis of this question was carried out by the example – dated 23 July 2013 – review by the Presidium of SAC RF of Case No. A40-131858/11 involving the dispute between Mobile Design and Construction Association Shakhtospetsstroy CJSC (Krasnodar Region, Sochi) and RAKSON LLC (Moscow Region, Odintsovo) on debt collection under the contract on subcontracting of construction – in our new review.

Preliminary contract in structuring Real Estate Transactions

On April 24, 2013, two Rulings of the Presidium of the RF Supreme Arbitration Court were published, giving a legal qualification to the relations of the parties arising from a preliminary contract. It is not the first time the Presidium has addressed this issue (see, for example: Ruling No. 3056/07, dated July 17, 2007, No. 402/09, dated July 14, 2009, No. 13331/09 dated January 19, 2010), however, we would not say that the institution of preliminary agreements frequently becomes an object of attention of a supreme court jurisdiction.

Legal "uncontrolled settlement": the Praesidium of the Supreme Arbitrazh court explained procedure for registration of the ownership rights to the buildings constructed before 1995

It's not a rare case nowadays when the company among other property owns real property constructed using own resources before 1995. Very often such buildings are used without any title documents as the relevant ownership rights were not registered in the Unified State Register of the Rights to Real Estate and Transactions therewith. In fact this entails the impossibility to sell and purchase such buildings and additional difficulties with the registration and re-registration of the rights to the land-plots.

Conflict resolution in the field of investment and construction activities

Recognizable feature of the post-crisis period is the “worsening” of non-fulfilment of mutual obligations, including in connection with problems with finding financing for projects, with the well-known consequences: the suspension of financing, “freezing” of a number of projects, with a substantial increase in the cost of borrowing – decline in the market price of the object.
