Property Claims: Commercial Disputes
Previously, the gradation of claim values and the amount of state fees were different. For example, if the value of a claim exceeded RUB 200,000 (up to and including RUB 1 million), an applicant paid RUB 7,000 plus 2% of the amount over RUB 200,000. Now the amounts have been substantially increased:
Thus, to file a claim, for example, for RUB 1,5 million, it is necessary to pay RUB 70,000 instead of previously RUB 28,000.
Challenging Decisions and Actions of State Bodies
In order to file an application with an Arbitrazh Court for the recognition of decisions and actions (inaction) of authorities or officials as unlawful, a company must pay RUB 50,000 instead of RUB 3,000.
A similar administrative claim will cost a legal entity RUB 15,000 instead of previously RUB 2,000.
Claims for Conclusion, Amendment or Termination of Contracts: Commercial Disputes
If a company files a non-property claim the state fee is RUB 50,000 instead of RUB 6,000.
Similar changes have been introduced for claims for the recognition of transactions as invalid without a claim to reverse the transaction.
Applications in Bankruptcy Cases
In order to file an application to declare a debtor bankrupt, a company must pay RUB 100,000 instead of previously RUB 6,000.
For applications and claims in separate disputes of a bankruptcy process, a payment of half of the state fee is established, which is determined on the basis of the essence of the claim.
Appeals to Higher Courts: Business Disputes
A company which intends to challenge a court act must pay:
- RUB 50,000 – for filing an ordinary cassation appeal.
- RUB 30,000 – for filing an appeal or cassation appeal against a court order.
- RUB 80,000 – for filing a cassation or supervisory review appeal to the Supreme Court of Russia.
Previously, when filing an appeal or cassation appeal against a decision or ruling of an Arbitrazh Court, the amount of the state fee was RUB 3,000.
