The possibility of uniting the systems of arbitration courts and general jurisdiction courts is being considered at the level of the Supreme Court and the Council of judges of Russia. On May 24-26, the Council of Judges of Russia will be considering the draft final decision of the IX All-Russian Congress of Judges (taking place in November-December 2016) in which the corresponding proposal may be included. This appears from the letter from chairman of the Council of Judges Dmitry Krasnov to deputy chairman of the Supreme Court Piotr Serkov.
Businessmen and the legal community express a consolidated opinion against this idea. Its execution will require major budget expenses, bears serious political risks and has a threat of decreasing the investment climate in the country. But above all, there are no reasonable arguments to be heard in favor of unification.
Managing partner of YUST Law Firm Evgeny Zhilin discussed the dangers of abolishing arbitration courts with Znak.com online newspaper: “Arbitration proceedings are a special philosophy of proceedings connected with business activity. General jurisdiction courts focus on citizens and their personal lives. Commercial and business disputes have less personal factors, and considering them requires specific knowledge. Therefore, it is important to maintain the well-established team of judges of arbitration courts and to keep on developing arbitration courts.
