Sergey Bakeshin comments on a decision of the Russian High Court

Head of the Dispute Resolution practice at Maxima Legal, Sergey Bakeshin, has provided his comments for the website Pravo.ru on a decision of the High Court in Russia, which stated that the evaluation of arguments set out in an application for review of an earlier Court decision on the basis of new evidence or circumstances, can only be made by the Court in proceedings and after an application has been issued. In other words, the Courts should only make an evaluation of arguments on issued applications – and not simply decline to issue applications having made an evaluation of the arguments.
