Debt collection laws in Russia
Debt collection laws in Russia may differ compared to the regulations in your country. Often following local procedures is much more effective and faster. With a Russian lawyer by your side, they can initiate the following procedures on your behalf:
Приказное производство: Summary proceedings
If you have an undisputed claim, then the "Приказное производство" procedure can be initiated. With these summary proceedings, an enforceable title is obtained timely and efficiently. After a judge has reached a verdict, our lawyers will immediately deploy the necessary means to execute this judgement.
Исковое производство: Ordinary civil proceedings
In case of a disputed claim, when your debtor disagrees with the invoice, our lawyers can submit a writ of summons ("Иск"). Both parties will then have to present their cases in court. In certain cases, the judge will reach a verdict immediately, while in others a hearing will be necessary. Depending on amount and complexity of your case, your lawyer will determine the best course of action and applicable procedure.
Debt collection enforcement in Russia
Once our lawyers have received a judgement against your Russian debtor, the judgement will still have to be enforced. With different enforcement laws in Russia, our experts can explain how these work and help have measures enforced on your behalf.
Limitation period in Russia
An outstanding invoice cannot be collected forever. Once an invoice becomes time-barred, you cannot recover the unpaid amount through court intervention. That’s why it is important to know that payment claims in Russia have a limitation period of 3 years. This commences as soon as the claim us due and payable.
While a limitation period of 3 year applies to payment claims, claims under transport law have a limitation period of 1 year. Moreover, if you wish to interrupt the limitation period, this can be done with an official acknowledgment of the outstanding debt by the Russian debtor.
