Forms of protection of business entity's rights by laws of the Russian Federation

In the exercise of entrepreneurial and other economic activities, business entities will inevitably face the need to resolve various legal conflicts. Forms of protection of rights and legitimate interests in the sphere of entrepreneurial and other economic activities may include state (jurisdictional) and private law (alternative dispute resolution) ones. Thus, having considered the legal framework and the practice of forms of protection of the rights and legitimate interests in the sphere of entrepreneurial and other economic activities on the basis of the research, the author comes to the following conclusions: 1. The benefits of judicial and arbitration forms of protection should include: universality and accessibility of judicial and arbitration forms of protection with relevant constitutional and arbitration procedural guarantees to support them; adequacy of the unilateral will of the person concerned for initiating proceedings in arbitration courts; detailed regulation of the procedure for review and resolution of the dispute by arbitration courts; possibility of appealing against a judicial act and, as a consequence, the review and cancellation of illegal (unreasonable) judicial act adopted by arbitration courts; guarantee of a compulsory enforcement of a judicial act by arbitration courts that has entered into force. 2. Feasibility of the administrative forms of protection is due to two reasons: first, such a procedure can reduce the burden on the courts and, second, unlike the court order to protect the rights and legitimate interests, the administrative form of protection is quicker and less costly. 3. The author supports the idea of organizing judicial mediation in Russia. At the same time, now there are a lot of problems related to its future implementation. It seems that the most controversial issues of the concept of judicial mediation in Russia include the following: 1) mechanisms to promote the use of judicial mediation; 2) introduction of mandatory pre-trial mediation; 3) terms of conciliation procedures; 4) procedural legal implications of the agreement to enter into mediation. 4. The author notes that the widespread use of mediation as a mechanism for the implementation of the laws of the Russian Federation, providing the possibility of reconciliation of the parties, intended to form a new legal culture of settling commercial disputes in Russia, and to optimize the work of the judiciary. 5. The author believes there is a need for effective use of conciliation procedures provided for by law in the judicial process. It is necessary to proceed from the determining role of the judge to resolve the case as a result of conciliation procedures when the parties have the right to terminate the process and turn to mediation. The court is obliged to invite the parties to use the mediation procedure. To this end, in the preparation of the case for trial it is necessary to strictly observe the provisions of the RF Arbitration Procedure Code for clarification to the parties of their right to apply for assistance of a mediator.
