Ivanov: the Supreme Court of Arbitration will contribute to the development of understandable rights in the economy

Anton Ivanov, Chairman of the Supreme Court of Arbitration of the Russian Federation (SCARF), said that SCARF will keep elaborating the laws which will permit to make the rules of the country’s economy more predictable, the correspondent of RAPSI/rapsinews.ru agency informs.

Speaking at the meeting of the 20^th anniversary of the Russian system of courts of arbitration, A.Ivanov said: “We will maintain our active participation in the elaboration of the laws, which will make the rules of conducting economic activity in the country more predictable, understandable and equally obligatory for everyone”.

He reminded that the intellectual rights court, the creation of which was recently approved by the lawmakers, would be the first of these specialized courts. “The first, but obviously not the last. Creation of an international finance center in Moscow, development of new technologies, amplification of cooperation with the courts of other countries – all these processes will inevitably demand from us new efforts aimed at improving the structure of the system of courts of arbitration”, observed Mr. Ivanov.
