The existence of extraordinary circumstances, which should be understood as circumstances unavoidable under these conditions, constitutes the condition for requisition. The Civil Code of the Russian Federation gives state bodies a certain freedom in carrying out requisitions, as it is hardly possible to list all exceptional circumstances when additional equipment or other property will be required both to prevent the development of emergencies and to deal with their consequences.Civil law confiscation involves the termination of private property and the emergence of state ownership of confiscated property. Therefore, it is impossible to treat as confiscation the seizure of tengible media according to Para. 4 of Art. 1252 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, because they were produced in violation of the law and, therefore, ownership has not arisen. The paper also substantiates the conclusion that nationalization requires relevant property to come not into the property of the State, but into the national property. In the author’s opinion, the currently existing State property does not contain any hints of national property, and it can be stated that the Russian people even more than previously are removed from the property of the State and are excluded from State responsibility. Nationwide property serves as a foundation of the civil society.

The subject. The enforcement of civil-legal institutions, such as liability for damage and unjustenrichment in tax disputes.The purpose of the paper is to identify how the civil-legal institutions may help in interpretationand enforcement of tax legal rules.The methodology. The methods of analysis and synthesis are used. The focus of the scientificanalysis concerns the decisions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation,the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation and the courts of general jurisdiction.Results and scope of application. Damage (harm) caused to the state by tax arrears is fundamentallydifferent from the harm (damage) caused to the civil order, responsibility forwhich is provided by Art. 1064 of the Russian Civil Code. Concerning the damages to stateby tax arrears, these arrears don’t affect the initial assets of the state and couldn’t be reimbursedusing to the civil order (Art. 1064 of the Russian Civil Code).Concerning property deduction on personal income tax, it can't be equaled to tax (arrears)by using the legal fiction. Because the underestimation of the tax base for personal incometax leads to property losses of the budget, this situation is subject to the application of civillaw institutions.Conclusions. Today the law enforcement practice creates a situation of substitution of legalityby expediency. The essence of this situation is that, if it is not possible to solve a situationby using tax legal rules, the situations is solved by civil law, although the applicationof the civil law to these situations is not possible on the merits.

The paper substantiates the conclusion that the main direction for the modernization of civil law now is reflected in its socialization, which leads to the incorporation of public interests into the legislation to a greater extent than it is at present. In this regard, it is necessary to solve the problem of socialization of private property, which, in turn, will allow enshrining the provision concerning the social purpose of entrepreneurial activities in the legislation.Civil law socialization will also make it necessary to change approaches to defining the principles of civil law. Paragraph 1 of Art. 1 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation provides for a list of foundations (principles) of civil law, but this list does not have any unifying ground that would allow us to assert the existence of a system of civil law principles, and it does not bear an expressed social burden. The paper substantiates the conclusion that the principle of the social state should be considered as a unifying principle promoting the principle of solidarity that, in turn, gives rise to the principles of good faith and justice.The paper also draws attention to the digitalization of public life, which has given rise to new problems. One of such problems includes compensation for harm caused to citizens and legal entities by devices, machines, etc. with artificial intelligence constituting not increased, but special danger for others, that should also include special responsibility. The special danger herein is preconditioned by the use of artificial intelligence, the possibility of its intended actions, for example, due to failures in the program or unauthorized change of the program from the outside. To this end, similar to the provision of Art. 1079 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, strict (no-fault) liability must be imposed on the persons concerned. The liability should not be individual, that is, the liability of an entity exploiting a device under consideration, but solidary one applied to all persons taking part in the work on artificial intelligence.

Introduction: the paper discusses the study of the basic principles and methods of determining rental rates for the use of land owned by the state and municipal authorities. Despite the increasing trend of the privatization of state-owned land, its significant proportion is still under the state ownership. In this regard, a significant share of court proceedings in the Arbitration courts falls precisely on those disputes that relate to the determination of the procedure for establishing the rent of state-owned real estate in Russia. In this regard, the author set the goal – to study the problem of establishing the amount of the rent for the land held by tenants for housing after bringing into force Resolution of the Government of the Russian Government No. 582 of July 16, 2009 “On the basic principles of determining the rent for leases of land plots in the state or municipal ownership, and on the Rules for determining the amount of rent and the order of the conditions and terms of payment of rent for land in the ownership of the Russian Federation” (hereinafter – “Resolution No. 582”). Methods: the methodological framework for the study is a set of methods of scientific knowledge, among which the main one is the comparative law method, as well as the methods of systematization and analysis. Results: the author’s position grounded in the work is based on the analysis of the legislation and the opinions of the scientists expressed in the competent scientific community on the issue of establishing the basic rates for renting the state real estate. Conclusions: as a result of the study, the main principles of determining the rates for renting the state-owned real estate, as well as the procedure for determining them, were analyzed. It was established that the amount of rent for land plots that were provided to tenants for housing construction after the entry into force of Resolution No. 582 should not exceed 2 % of the cadastral value of such real estate.

Introduction: of all the instruments of protection of subjective property rights, the fundamental role belongs to the institute of indemnification, whose regulatory framework needs to be clarified. The purpose of this paper is comparative description of the important legal aspects of the main type of property liability. In accordance with the purpose, the following objectives were set: to determine the extent to which legal provisions of general regulations on obligations laid down in the Civil Code of the Russian Federation should or can be applied to claims for damages; to formulate the proposals for improving the indemnification court practice. Methods: the methodological framework of the study consists of specific scholarly (special legal, comparative legal) and general scholarly (problem-theory, teleological, and system) methods of analysis. The main trends in the development of the institute of liability and the debatable aspects reflected in the Russian and foreign documents were studied with the use of the problem-theory and system analysis methods. Results: being a summary overview of the available knowledge and comparative regulatory material, this paper allowed us to articulate the ideas aimed at improving the fundamental principles of legal regulation of relations in the sphere of protection of subjective rights, in particular indemnification. Discussion: indemnification is a developing major institute of civil law, invariably attracting the attention of scholars around the world. Lately it has taken on special significance and some of its aspects have become a focus of a separate field of scholarly discussion. Many Russian scholars have written about indemnification in a comparative aspect: О. N. Sadikov, V. V. Baibak and others [2, 15]; this paper focuses on the reform of Russian law of obligations and the new provisions of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation of March 8, 2015 and reveals the consequences of the reform for the institute of damages, discussing this topic in detail as a separate standalone issue. Conclusion: we hope that this paper will contribute to further discussion in the civil law doctrine of the ideas and conclusions presented.

The paper substantiates the author’s proposal to amend the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, which is explained by the gradual creation of a digital economy in the Russian Federation. In particular, the author has examined and solved the following problems of the legal regulation of civil law relations in the context of digitalization: the problem of identifying the object of digital rights, the problem of legal qualification of the electronic form of the transaction, the problem of using a smart contract in civil transactions, the problem of using blockchain technology to create mixed payment systems. The paper proposes a non-standard solution to each of these problems—the author has prepared a draft federal law "On Amendments to Parts One and Two of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation in terms of legal relations arising in cyberspace." In particular, the author proposes to define digital rights as the absolute and relative rights to digital property named in this capacity, the content and conditions of implementation of which are determined by the law and the rules of the information system (protocol) that meets the characteristics established by the law. In the author’s opinion, an electronic document can exist in the form of a machine information file of any format or a computer program that meets the characteristics of an electronic document.

Common Situation

The article presents an analysis of situations in which civil law is applied in the regulation of labor relations. The authors note that civil law is applied in the regulation of labor relations in several cases. The most common situation is the reference rules provided for by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation itself, which directly provides for situations in which the courts can apply civil law rules when regulating labor relations. In some cases, if there is a gap in law, the courts apply the norms of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation when considering labor disputes, filling the gaps in the regulation of labor relations. In a number of cases, the Labor Code of the Russian Federation adopted civil law structures, although in this case it is no longer possible to talk about the application of civil law norms, since in the case of transferring these structures to the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, they become labor law norms. Also, in practice, there are situations when, simultaneously with labor relations, other relations arise, including civil law relations. In these cases, the courts also apply civil law. The authors describe these situations, give examples from judicial practice, and also propose ways to solve the defects arising in the regulation of labor relations.

The article highlights the role of prof. A.L. Makovsky in the creation of the new Civil Code of the Russian Federation of 1994–2006, as well as in the organization of the practice of its application and the development of the Concept for the Development of Civil Legislation of the Russian Federation in 2009. Special attention is paid to the activities of A.L. Makovsky on the preparation of the Fourth Part of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation and the concept of intellectual rights enshrined by it, opposing the traditional archaic concept of “intellectual property”. The importance of the need to increase the attention of civil law to the issue of protecting the rights and interests of citizens and other weakest participants in civil legal relations in their opposition to the interests of large companies striving to take a privileged position in property turnover is shown. From this point of view, the author substantiates the need for a significant adjustment in the understanding of the balance of private and public interests, which is the basis of civil law regulation.

AbstractPrivate property entails a relationship between people through objects. The objects of property rights form a necessary part of the property equation, and provide an understanding of the rights and obligations allowed and required in the exploitation of any given object. This often comes through the civilian notion of destination: the idea that certain resources have a specifi c teleology or accepted way of being properly exploited or used finds expression in various legal rules. The manner in which the destination is determined may vary: it may be formal, legal or merely tacit. This basic theme is amplified in this comparative study of the basic structure of private property rights and obligations in the Civil Code of the Russian Federation and in the Civil Code of Quebec. Other themes also become equally apparent in the course of this study. First, the Russian code contains a very rough approximation of the general structure of civil law property rights: a fullest right of ownership and different lesser entitlements or dismemberments. The dismemberments, however, are quite unique to the Russian context. Second, both property rights and obligations are articulated much more explicitly and elaborately in the Russian code than in the Quebec counterpart. Third, this express enunciation of obligations and limitations on all entitlements in turn is founded on the idea that ownership is a limited concept. This foundation is in no way in contradiction to the theory of ownership in Western legal theory and practice. Finally, as a general observation, the continuing role of the state in the Russian private property system as articulated in the Russian code is much more pronounced. This is true both in its role as a legislator and enforcement agent of property limitations, as well as its express role as an actor in certain of the lesser entitlements.

Broad Overview

AbstractThe author offers a critical examination of the provisions on purchase and sale in the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. Focusing narrowly on the text of the code, the paper starts with a broad overview of, and commentary on, the provisions and then provides a detailed article-by-article commentary on individual provisions. Potential difficulties are identified (especially with respect to transfer of ownership, remedies, and the code's attempt to blend common and civil law approaches to sale) and suggestions are offered for how the text might be clarified or, in certain cases, substantively changed. In view of the broad similarity between the provisions on sale in the Russian code and the rules on contracts of sale applicable in Western market economies generally, the paper proposes neither far-ranging criticisms nor radical reforms of the Russian law.
