Dear readers,

Amendments to the procedural codes (Civil Procedural Code, Code of Commercial Procedure, Code of Administrative Court Proceedings) entered into force on 25 October 2019, extending the list of conciliation procedures for dispute resolution. These include negotiations, mediation, judicial conciliation and also other conciliation procedures.

On the basis of these legislative amendments, the Supreme Court has adopted a Regulation of the Plenum which approved the rules governing the conduct of judicial conciliation, which constitutes an additional procedure for the resolution of disputes. It is carried out by agreement of the parties with the cooperation of the court and a court conciliator as a special participant.

This newsletter will be of interest to CEOs and the specialists of legal departments.

Sincerely,
Alexander Bezborodov
