PROVISIONS FOR ATTRIBUTING LEGAL COSTS TO A PERSON WHO ABUSES THEIR PROCEDURAL RIGHTS MAY BE ADDED TO THE RUSSIAN CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE

A draft law has been introduced in the State Duma, proposing to supplement the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation with a new article borrowing the provisions of Article 111 of the Arbitration Procedure Code of the Russian Federation regarding the attribution of legal costs to a person who abuses their procedural rights.

The authors of the initiative explain that the absence of a mechanism similar to Article 111 of the Arbitration Procedure Code of the Russian Federation in civil proceedings leads to inequality of procedural rights between the parties, encourages dishonest behaviour by litigants, and leads to protracted court proceedings. The new provision of the Code of Civil Procedure will help eliminate these circumstances.
