Increased payment discipline: objectives and results

The National Collections Service in May 2015 stated that debts for utility services had exceeded 1 trillion roubles. These included consumer debts to resource supplying and management organizations and non-payments by municipal utilities to suppliers of energy resources. The problem of excessive loyalty to the defaulters, to the detriment of the financial stability of suppliers, required a resolution. It was necessary to increase the responsibility for the entire chain – from consumers to the power generation companies, so that they could not evade their obligations. The Law “On increasing payment discipline in the housing and communal services sphere” was adopted in late 2015.

Harmonization of court levels – changes to practice by the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation

One of the expected outcomes of the abolition of the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation (SAC RF) is that reviews of legal positions will now be carried out by Supreme Court of the Russian Federation (SC RF), something that previously was performed during the consideration of specific cases.

Environmental underside of the shale revolution

This article will address the environmental aspects of shale gas, including describing the character of the new production technologies (hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling), its environmental risks, as well as the reasons for such a rigid form of legal regulation of environmental requirements – as the complete bans on shale gas in a number of countries. This very private, but very eloquent example, will allow us to come to the logical conclusion that sometimes a total ban is really necessary, and sometimes the only way to regulate environmental risks in the energy sector.

Enforcing a court’s judgment: whether is it possible to collect interest?

The duration of the procedure of judicial recovery of debt from counterparty often leads to enforcement proceedings immediately after the court decision enters into legal force. This algorithm speeds up the actual receipt of the funds, but at the same time, carries a certain risk associated with the possibility of actually enforcing the court order.

Legal regulation of electricity turnover

As a result of reforms in the electricity sphere, the structure of the market participants has become significantly complicated, as well as the obligatory chain of mutual relations between them. Both of these factors formed the background for a complex and simultaneous development of the regulatory framework in this sector. The growth in the number of sectoral regulatory legal acts has been amazing. Whereas before the reforms, the entire regulatory framework was based on the regulatory framework of the Civil Code and a series of departmental regulatory legal acts, now this base contains more than a hundred different legal acts.
