Proposal to Reduce Arbitrazh Courts' Docket

Russia's Supreme Arbitrazh (Economic) Court has prepared draft procedural amendments to reduce the caseload of the arbitrazh court system. The proposals include applying simplified procedures for disputes involving 300,000 rubles or less (~$10,000) in routine cases such as claims for rent arrears and, if the parties consent, in loan default cases. Under the simplified procedures, cases will be decided based on written submissions only, consisting of no more than four documents filed by each party.

Under the proposals, the Moscow Arbitrazh Court's caseload would be reduced by transferring cases against federal agencies to the region where the plaintiff resides and by prohibiting parties from conferring jurisdiction on the Moscow court by agreement.
