The dispute arose from a supply contract and additional agreements between the Claimant (Supplier) and Respondent (Buyer), concerning delivery of products. The Supplier made several shipments, confirmed by delivery notes signed by both parties. However, some paperwork errors were identified but accepted due to their technical nature. The Buyer failed to make final payments under all agreements. During proceedings, it was established that certain batches of products had not been delivered or had been duplicated in deliveries without any provision for re-delivery in the agreements. These instances led to reductions in debt amounts owed by the Buyer. In terms of arbitration fees and representation costs incurred during proceedings; based on Article 15 of Rules governing this case - these should be borne by party against whom arbitral award is made unless otherwise agreed upon. After calculations considering value of claims granted versus those initially asserted - it was determined that USD25,552.60 should be borne by Respondent while remainder (USD2,380) would be borne by Claimant. Regarding representation costs claimed at RUB1,650,000; despite objections from respondent citing excessive charges compared to similar cases - tribunal found insufficient evidence provided for comparison hence upheld claimants request as reasonable given complexity & scope involved in this case. The Arbitral Tribunal partially granted the claims of the Claimant against the Respondent ordering them to pay various debts for delivered products under different specifications and additional agreements; interest for use of other person's means under Article 395 of Civil Code for all three agreements; costs of payment of arbitration fee; and costs for legal services on protection rights rendered by Claimant's representative (partially granted). Some asserted claims were rejected by the tribunal.

A dispute under the Forwarding Contract for Freight Transportation Organization, pursuant to which the Claimant as forwarder was to provide freight forwarding services to the Respondent as a client, by organising international transportation or transportation across Russia by rail, road, sea or other modes of transport, and the Respondent was to make certain payments in consideration for these services. The Claimant sought to recover the outstanding additional costs as they could not be calculated prior to the actual provision of these services. The Respondent believed all his debts under the Contract to the Claimant were already covered. Moreover, the Respondent emphasised that its cargo (bottles of red wine) was seriously damaged and delayed, which caused the Respondent's losses. Still, it received no solution or answer from the Claimant. The Respondent is of the view that it does not owe the Claimant “financially or morally”, and that the above points should offset the Claimant’s claims.

The Parties entered into a contract for the supply and installation of imported equipment. The Claimant (Contractor) admitted that, during the performance of the contract, it had failed to meet the time limits set out in the contract because of the difficult economic situation in the world. The Respondent (Client) demanded payment of a penalty for non-performance of the contract and subsequently withheld the amount of the penalty from the payments in favour of the Claimant. Considering the amount of the penalty to be excessive, the Claimant filed a claim to reduce the penalty by recovering the amount of unjust enrichment from the Respondent.

Dispute on the recovery of a penalty for the delay in the performance of work under a work contract. All arguments submitted by the Respondent on the merits of the dispute were recognized by the Arbitral Tribunal as untenable. The claim was entirely dismissed since the period for incurring the penalty was within the moratorium on bankruptcy prescribed by the Russian Government Decree No. 497 of 28.03.2022. This moratorium prohibits accruing penalties.

Dispute on the recovery of a penalty for violation of the terms of delivery of equipment for meeting rooms. The Respondent was certain that the Parties must have anticipated potential setbacks in the equipment delivery schedule due to the ongoing semiconductor crisis in 2021, though such prospects were not explicitly outlined in the contract. The Respondent's attempts to evade liability in accordance with paragraphs 1 and 3 of Article 401 of the Civil Code of Russia by citing force majeure caused by sanctions restrictions in 2022, were deemed invalid. The market's inadequacy in providing the necessary goods for the completion of the contract, compounded by the intricate geopolitical situation arising from para. 3 of Art. 401 of the Civil Code of Russia, did not fall under the classification of force majeure circumstances. Moreover, the contract's protocol for exemption from responsibility was not abided by. The satisfaction of claims was not affected by the moratorium on bankruptcy introduced by the Russian Government Decree No. 497 on 28.03.2022, as there was no dispute between the parties regarding claims for penalty recovery for the period covered by the moratorium.

The parties concluded a contract for the provision of security and safety services. The contract was terminated prematurely due to the Respondent’s improper fulfillment of its contractual payment obligations. The Respondent received certificates of services rendered but avoided signing them. Having accumulated a three-month debt, the Respondent avoided pre-trial settlement of the dispute and did not submit its version of the reconciliation report. The Respondent acknowledged the existence and amount of the debt by signing an agreement on termination and settlement of liabilities concerning termination of the contract, undertaking to settle the debt within the time limit, after the expiration of which the Claimant filed a claim with the RAC.

The dispute concerned the recovery of a forfeit for delayed fulfillment of obligations under a contract for works. Following the hearing, the parties settled the dispute amicably by entering into a settlement agreement. The agreement stipulated a deadline for fulfilling the obligation that had occurred before the Arbitral Tribunal adopted the award, which is not contrary to the law and does not render the arbitral award knowingly unenforceable.

A dispute under the contract for the performance of a complex of works for the construction of facilities. The contracting parties were the Customer represented by the Agent (Claimant) under the contract for the provision of project management services, as well as the Consortium represented by the Consortium Leader (Respondent 1) and the Contractor (Respondent 2). In connection with the works performance delay, the Claimant filed a claim to the Co-Respondents for the recovery of penalties for works performance delay, for violation of the interim terms of performance, and interest under Art. 395 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation for the amount of penalties for the period from the moment Respondent 2 received a pre-trial claim till the day of the arbitral award. The Arbitral Tribunal defined the boundaries of its competence and decided on three main issues: (1) whether the creditor has the right to collect a contractual penalty, and if so, whether the behaviour of the creditor itself affects its amount; (2) whether there are grounds for the interest reduction; (3) whether interest is recoverable on the amount of penalty charged.

The dispute involved the recovery of debt under a contract for equipment rental services. In Cases Nos. PI6948-22 and PI9972-22 the Parties were identical, the claims were based on the same arbitration agreement, and the dispute arose from interconnected obligations. Thus, the RAC Board, at the Claimant’s request and without any objections from the Respondent, decided to consolidate the cases, continuing with Case PI6948-22 (which commenced earlier) and terminating Case PI6948-22 (which commenced later).

The dispute from a contract for the provision of a set of transport forwarding services related to carriage of the cargo by sea. The obligation to arrange such carriage was performed by the Claimant and paid by the Respondent. At the same time, the Claimant argued that certain costs incurred by it in the course of the fulfillment of the contract were to be reimbursed in addition to the amount paid by the Respondent. The Respondent considered that those costs had been paid by it as part of the price of the services and that it was not obliged to reimburse any additional costs. The Arbitral Tribunal resolved the issue whether these costs were part of the price already paid for the services or whether they should be additionally reimbursed.

After the commencement of arbitration, the Parties, at the initiative of the Respondent, proceeded to negotiations on a settlement of the dispute, however, the Parties failed to submit the documents for rendering an award on the agreed terms. The Tribunal suspended the arbitration until the Parties conclude a settlement agreement, or continue the dispute resolution essentially. Two years later, the Claimant reported that the parties failed to conclude a settlement agreement and requested to resolve the dispute. The original arbitrator resigned himself, the RAC initiated the arbitrator replacement procedure.

A dispute from a contract for the supply of perishable goods. During the contract execution by the Claimant, the Respondent stopped paying for the delivered goods, assuring the Claimant that the debt would be repaid later, stating that the lack of payment was caused by the seizure of his accounts by the Federal Tax Service. Later, the Respondent refused to pay for the goods, since a substantial part of the goods received by the Respondent were of poor quality (rotten). Since the negotiations turn out unsuccessful, the Claimant filed with the RAC to recover the debt under the contract and the late payment interest under the Thailand Civil and Commercial Code. The Respondent failed to comply with the contract procedure for written notification in the event of defective goods delivery; nor did this evidence be presented during the arbitration.

The Parties entered into a contract for the commissioning and testing of measuring channels. Due to the fact that the Respondent (Customer), among other things, was not satisfied with the pace of work performed by the Claimant (Contractor), the Respondent sent to the Claimant a notice of a unilateral refusal to execute the contract (termination of the contract) on the grounds provided for by the contract and paragraph 2 of Article 715 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation (work is so slow that it occurs clearly impossible to complete it on time). Despite the fact that the Claimant initially disagreed with the grounds for repudiation of the contract and suggested to the Respondent in the claim correspondence to change these grounds to others, his claim to the RAC with the requirements to recognize the repudiation of the contract as invalid took place outside the limitation period established by the Civil Code to invalidate voidable transactions (limitation period – 1 year). At the same time, the Claimant not only argued that the Respondent had no grounds (motives) for repudiating the contract and even that they were far-fetched but also insisted that the Respondent's actions must be qualified as an abuse of the right. The transaction for unilateral repudiation of the contract must be declared invalid (void) (the limitation period is 3 years). The Arbitral Tribunal, taking into account the applicable standard of proof, examined the actual performance by the Parties of the contract (including the Parties' array of correspondence for six months), and did not see signs of dishonest behaviour in the Respondent's actions. In addition, the Claimant did not provide evidence of the Respondent’s violation of counter obligations under the contract, while the facts of the violation of obligations by the Claimant found their documentary evidence, in connection with which the Arbitral Tribunal refused to satisfy the stated requirements, not only on the grounds of the expiration of the limitation period (an independent ground for refusal of a claim).

A dispute for the recovery of a penalty for a delivery time violation and for delay of provision of security for the performance of the contract. Both Parties agreed with the fact of delivery delay but argued about the exact moment the products were considered delivered, since the moment the Parties signed the consignment note in most cases did not coincide with the date of actual delivery. Regarding the second claim, the Respondent's argument that the penalty should be calculated on the value of products delayed on delivery, but not on the basis of the total price of the contract, was rejected by the Arbitral Tribunal as not based on the provisions of the contract. The Respondent's argument that the penalty cannot be charged after the products have been completely delivered was also rejected, since even after the delivery of all the products, the Buyer could have quality requirements of the products, which should also have been secured. The arbitral tribunal reduced the penalty for the delay in the provision of security for the performance of the contract since by the moment of the dispute resolution, the penalty size exceeded the amount of the security itself by four times. Initially, the claim to recover a penalty for the delay in the provision of security of the contract was submitted till the day of the issuance of the award, but in the course of arbitration, the Claimant amend the end of the recovery period to a specific calendar day. For the purposes of determining the arbitration fee, the value of such a claim has been recalculated till the date the Claimant was no longer submitting the claim. As a result of such an amendment, the value of the claims decrease and the arbitration fee in the relevant part was borne by the Claimant in accordance with Paragraph 5 of Article 15 Rules on Fees and Costs.

A dispute under the building contract for the recovery of the unjust enrichment. According to the Claimant (Contractor), during the work performance, it turned out that the terms of reference did not reflect the entire scope of work performed, which resulted in additional unforeseen costs that were not paid by the Respondent (Customer). According to the Respondent, the Claimant did not comply with the pre-trial procedure for resolving the dispute, as well as the procedure for agreeing with the Customer on the estimate of additional costs. During the procedural documents exchange, the Parties were able to resolve the dispute amicably.

A dispute regarding a put option exercise arose between participants of a company. Two participants (Lenders) arranged a conclusion of an agreement with the company, under which it was granted a loan, while the other two participants (Managers) had to prevent the company from going bankrupt. To safeguard their interests, the Lenders entered into a put option contract with the Managers. According to the contract provisions, the Lenders received an irrevocable offer to buy the company’s interest. That offer could be accepted if certain conditions of the option are met. One of the Lenders found these conditions to have been met and accepted the offer. However, the Managers refused to pay for the company’s share, because the Lender allegedly had not confirmed certain events and had not conducted an independent assessment of the interest. After an exchange of documents, the Parties managed to settle the dispute.

The Parties concluded a contract for the provision of services for the carriage of goods. The Claimant (the contractor) notified the Respondent (the customer) of the arrival of the vehicles for the removal of the equipment, but on the appointed day the vehicles were not allowed to the loading area, after three days, left the place of waiting, The Claimant then applied to the RAC for a fine (penalty) for the delay (demurrage) of the vehicles and a fine (penalty) for failure to declare the goods for carriage. Considering the dispute, the Arbitral Tribunal examined (1) the correctness of the calculation of the fine (penalty) executed by the Claimant, (2) the Claimant’s grounds for recovery from the Respondent of the fine (penalty) for failure to declare the goods for carriage in the absence of the Claimant’s refusal to perform the contract of carriage under Art. 5. 10 Federal Law of 08.11.2007 259-FZ «Charter of Road Transport and Urban Ground Electric Transport», as well as (3) proportionality established by law and levied by the Plaintiff fine (penalty) for failure to declare the cargo for carriage and fines (penalty) For the delay (demurrage) of the vehicles, the consequences of the Respondent’s breach of its obligations, taking into account the factors that the Respondent asked to take into account when deciding on the reduction of fines (penalties) under Article 4. 333 Civil Code of the Russian Federation

Back in 2018, a dispute arose between the Parties regarding the term of the obligation to develop the WDD (working design documentation) shall be executed. The Arbitral Tribunal back then decided that the time limit for the Respondent's obligation execution begins to run from the moment the Claimant sends the last comment/edit to the draft of the WDD. In 2021, the Claimant again claims that though all the necessary data for the development of the WDD was provided, the Respondent's still fulfilled his obligation with a delay. The Respondent again did not consider himself guilty of missing the term of obligation execution since numerous coordinating organizations (not a party to the contract) were sending additional comments to the draft or untimely provided information. The Arbitral Tribunal agreed with the Respondent, noting that, though the coordinating organizations are not parties to the contract, the Respondent still could not ignore them due to their role in the Parties' legal relations.

The law firm filed a claim for the recovery of $70,000 in arrears for legal services rendered to represent the Respondent’s interests in the LCIA. Under the contract, the Claimant’s remuneration was limited to the amount of $25,000, but due to the Defendant’s refusal of the contract, this limitation ceased to apply, according to the Claimant. The Respondent objected to the poor quality of the services provided by the Claimant: failed to challenge the jurisdiction of the LCIA or to suspend the process, proposed an inappropriate expert candidate. Having assessed the arguments of the Parties and the work done by the Claimant, the Arbitral Tribunal disagreed with the Respondent’s arguments, as the Claimant had not promised to achieve certain results in the course of the work and in the Arbitrator’s opinion it was practically impossible to achieve them. However, the Claimant’s claims were satisfied subject to a contractual fee limit, as otherwise the agreement of the Parties would be meaningless and would create legal uncertainty for the Respondent.

Under the contract the Respondent pledged to perform certain works at the request of the Claimant in four stages. When the second stage works were not completed, the Respondent notified the Claimant about the impossibility to perform the work due to the fault of the subcontractor. The Claimant refused to perform the contract and filed a claim for the recovery of a penalty for the second stage work performance delay, minus the sum of a bank guarantee. In objections, the Respondent requested a reduction in the penalty, considering that (1) the Claimant himself interfered with the performance of the contract, (2) the penalty is disproportionate to the amount of work performed, (3) the liability of the Parties under the contract is unequal, (4) the amount of the penalty is disproportionate to the consequences of the breach of obligation, (5) the Respondent himself is in financial hardship. The Arbitral Tribunal concluded that none of the Respondent's listed statements is supported by evidence, the discrepancies in the provisions on the liability of each of the Parties to the contract are not relevant to the resolution of this dispute, the disproportionate penalty for the cost of work performed is not one of the grounds for reducing the penalty, and the basis for reducing the penalty is its disproportion to the consequences of the breach of contract and not the severity of the burden of paying it for the debtor.
17.12.2021
The award demonstrates a complex calculation of the amount of the claim and the arbitration fee, taking into account the following: (1) the Claimant filed a claim for the collection of interest by the date of the actual performance of the obligation, the price of which was established by the RAC, taking into account the deadline for issuing a decision to calculate the arbitration fee; (2) the Parties amicably settled the dispute before the first oral hearing, resulting in a 50% reduction in arbitration fee.

The Claimant appealed to the RAC with a demand for the recovery of a penalty for violation of the delivery period and termination of the contract. The Arbitral Tribunal noted that the Respondent had breached the contract on the quality and completeness of the goods. The subsequent refusal of the Respondent to correct the breach on the ground of absence of working capital of the enterprise constitutes improper performance of the contract. The Arbitral Tribunal also concluded that the Claimant had the right to refuse performance of the contract, so that the contract should be considered avoided.

The Claimant field applied to RAC with a demand for Respondent to recover penalties for violation of the terms under the contract, according to which the Respondent accepted the obligations to develop TOR (private term of reference), WDD (working design documentation), QP (quality plan), manufacture and supply of equipment. The Arbitral Tribunal found the asserted claims reasonable and didn’t agree with the Respondent’s argument that the Claimant demanding a forfeit for the delay in fulfilling obligations to develop TOP, WDD, QP, and to supply of equipment, seeks to impose on the Respondent burden of triple civil law liability. An award also assessed the Respondent’s reference to the actions of third parties, not parties to the contract, to the establishment of non-working days in connection with the spread of COVID – 19, as the reasons for the delay in the fulfillment of obligations.
14.09.2021
The Claimant claimed damages for late performance of obligations under the contract of delivery. The Respondent admitted the fact and the period of delay, but due to the difficult economic situation requested to reduce the amount of penalties and to use the double rate of interest of the Bank of Russia, which existed at the time of such violation. The Arbitral Tribunal considered whether the economic consequences of the pandemic were relevant to the stated claims for penalties.

A dispute under the contract of delivery arising from a breach by the supplier of its obligations. The Respondent ignored all communications about the arbitration prior to the first oral hearing, which, in sum, the Parties' unwillingness to provide the necessary explanations and evidence was the reason for the postponement of the hearing twice. During the arbitration, the Parties disputed the date of actual delivery and the presence of obligatory accompanying documents complete with the delivered products. In order to establish the time of delivery of the products, witnesses whose testimony was taken into account by the Arbitral Tribunal in rendering the decision were brought by the Claimant. The Respondent sought an exemption on the grounds of COVID-19 but failed to prove a causal link between the COVID-19 pandemic and the impossibility or delay of performance.
24.08.2021
The Claimant applied to the RAC for the Respondent’s failure to comply with the terms of the Project and Research Contract. Later, the Respondent sued the Claimant for the annulment of the Claimant’s unilateral refusal to perform the contract and the recovery of the value of the received works and penalties for the delay in their payment. The respondent applied for unification of the Arbitral Tribunal under Rule pp. 1 p. 2 of Art. 2. 33 Arbitration Rules (if the combined arbitrations are based on the same arbitration agreement, the Board may combine two or more commenced arbitrations upon application by the Party). The Claimant had given its consent to the merger of the arbitral tribunals, and the Board had therefore decided on the merger under the rule under art. 1. 33 Arbitration Rules (all Parties to combined arbitrations agree with such association). Considering the dispute on the merits, the Arbitral Tribunal found no grounds to hold the Respondent liable for the delay in completion of the works but found evidence of the Claimant’s breach of the counterliability for transmission of the original data, which made it impossible for the Respondent to perform the work in a timely manner. Moreover, the Claimant interpreted the terms of the contract in contradiction with its literal content, by calculating the penalty on three occasions on the basis of the contract price rather than the cost of the overdue work.
16.08.2021
Having received the Respondent’s refusal to perform the contract of delivery in connection with COVID-19, the Claimant entered into a contract for the delivery of similar goods with a new supplier, then notified the Respondent of the avoidance of the contract with him and demanded the payment of penalties for the breach of the term of delivery and damages in the amount of the difference between the price of the contract and its replacement transaction. The Arbitral Tribunal found that the correspondence between the Parties did indicate the Respondent’s refusal of the contract even before its formal avoidance; the terms of the contract and the substitute transaction are identical; The expert opinion submitted by the Respondent was prepared in circumvention of the procedure laid down in the Arbitration Rules and is therefore not adequate evidence.
12.08.2021
At the time of receipt of the claim with the RAC, an application for bankruptcy was filed against the Respondent. Considering the size of the claims in the RAC case, the actions of the Respondent’s creditor, the Arbitral tribunal recognized its competence not considering in the actions Claimant signs of using arbitration to the detriment of the bankruptcy procedure.

The Arbitral Tribunal concluded that the decrees of the Mayor of Moscow on the introduction of the high-readiness regime do not eliminate the obligation of the lessee to pay rent (and the right of the lessor to receive it) but give the right to reduce it. In addition, the Arbitral Tribunal found that the landlord’s negative response to a request for a reduction of rent after a long period of time violated the interests of the lessee and constituted an abuse of rights.

Dispute from a sub-license agreement to grant the right to use Microsoft software. The Arbitral Tribunal found that the Respondent (the licensee) could not perform its obligations to the Claimant (the sub-licensee) because it had not acquired the relevant rights from the licensor and satisfied the Claimant’s claim to avoid the sub-licence contract, refund of fees paid and penalties for the violation of the terms of transfer of the right to use the software.
30.07.2021
The Claimant applied to the RAC in connection with the Respondent’s volution of obligation from the construction contract for the performance of a major overhaul. Since the Parties had disagreements about the identified defects of the work, the Respondent offered to conduct an appropriate examination of the results of the work but didn’t pay an advance to cover the arbitration coats. The Respondent asked to apply Art. 333 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation and reduce the amount of penalty but didn’t provide evidence of its disproportion. The Arbitral Tribunal concluded that it had the amount of penalty recovered didn’t violate the balance of interests of the Parties and consistent with the principles of reason and proportionality of liability for volution of obligation.
21.07.2021
The Claimant sought recovery of the debt and a penalty for the payment of the goods under the contract of delivery. The Respondent accepted the goods without comment but did not pay for the disputed deliveries. The panel noted that although the Claimant’s pre-trial claim against the Respondent contained 24 waybills, and the claim for 32 waybills, the Claimant had nevertheless complied with the claim in the circumstances of the case.

The Claimant applied to the RAC in connection with the Respondent’s volition of obligation to pay the permanent and variable parts of the payments under the lease agreement. The witness helped to establish the order and period of the rental (of lease) of the promises, since there was no other possibility to clarify these circumstances, including with the spread of COVID – 19 at the time of termination of the agreement of the Parties.
09.07.2021
The Respondent volition its obligation under the supply contract in terms of the delivery time and quality of the goods, which led to the Claimant’s filing a claim with the RAC for the recovery of forfeit, a fine, and costs for responsible storage of the unaccepted goods. The Respondent asked not to apply penalties for late supply, citing the COVID – 19 pandemic. Concerning the quality of the goods, the Respondent was convinced that the goods were supplied to the carriers in accordance with the terms of the contract, and in order to identify the moment of the formation of its defects, it considered it necessary to involve the carriers as third parties in the case.
23.06.2021
The Claimant applied to the RAC for debt recovery and penalties for the delay in payment of the works under the contract. During the arbitration, the Claimant applied to call witnesses, but the requirements are s. 45 The Arbitration Rules could not be observed, including the failure to provide information on witnesses, the subject matter of their testimony, their relevance to the case and their relevance to the merits of the dispute. The Claimant attempted to exclude from the case file the evidence submitted by the Respondent, claiming that it was falsified, but did not request an expert opinion. The Respondent requested that the notarial costs incurred in providing the evidence be apportioned, but the Arbitral Tribunal decided that they did not meet the criteria of necessity and justifiability. During the dispute, there was no disagreement between the Parties on the main issue of whether the work had been completed, but the Claimant continued to insist that the claims be satisfied, and the Respondent continued to object. Since the work actually performed by the Claimant did not comply with the terms of the contract, the Arbitral Tribunal refused to satisfy the claims in full.
16.06.2021
The Respondent breached the terms of delivery under the contract, which was the basis for the Claimant to apply to the RAC for payment of penalty. Prior to filing a claim with the RPAC, the Claimant had already received reimbursement under the bank guarantee provided by the Respondent to secure performance of the obligations under the contract. In its defense, the Respondent argued that it had only committed a breach in respect of the late delivery of the products, and that the simultaneous recovery of penalties and the bank guarantee was therefore contrary to the principle of one-time liability. The Respondent also requested the application of Art. 333 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, citing the disproportion of the deductible consequences of the violated obligations. In considering the dispute, the Arbitral Tribunal also resolved the disputed issue between the Parties as to the date of the conclusion of the Contract in order to determine when the Respondent’s obligation to deliver arose.

A key element of the dispute is the disagreement of the Parties regarding the establishment of the time of responsibility for the violation of the intermediate deadlines for the performance of work under the R&D contract. Applying different rules and methods of interpretation of the provisions of the contract, the Arbitral Tribunal determines the meaning of the terms «term of performance of works» and «cost of works under the contract» to determine the contractual liability for the breach of terms of performance of works.

The Claimant initiated arbitration for a 496-day delay in performance. The Respondent t argued that the rest days established by the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation in 2020 should be exempted from the period of delay, but he was obliged to perform the work one year before the introduction of restrictive measures. There is no evidence that the delay is justified or that there are reasonable reasons for the failure to perform before and after the imposition of the restrictive measures by the Respondent.

01.02.2021

Appling to the RAC with a claim against the Respondent, the Claimant submitted an arbitration agreement of the Parties on dispute resolution at the RAC in accordance with the Arbitration Rules. Soon, the Respondent stated that the applicable rules were determined incorrectly since the Parties had signed a newer version of the arbitration agreement on dispute resolution at the RAC Division for Dispute Resolution in the Nuclear Industry in accordance with the Rules of the Division.

The Claimant field applied to arbitration with a demand to recover a forfeit for violation of the term for the provision of services for cleaning the protected area. The Respondent cited force majeure circumstances in the form of incessant snowfall as the cause of his violations.

The Arbitral tribunal, after reviewing the positions of the Parties, resolved the issue of whether the Respondent’s alternative defense could be based on the same circumstance.

The Respondent failed to supply the equipment on time as a result of which the Claimant unilaterally terminated the contract and applied to arbitration with a demand to recover forfeit for delay supply equipment. The Respondent didn’t recognize demands referred to the introduction by the Claimants after the conclusion of the contract of changes in the equipment configuration, as the reason for the delay in its supply, as well as on the insufficient indication in the agreement of the requirements for the equipment. In fact, the Claimant didn’t make a change to the configuration of the equipment after the conclusion of the agreement, and Arbitral Tribunal found that the subject matter of the contract was exhaustively defined in the Appendices to the agreement.

The Claimant field applied to arbitration with a demand to recovered a forfeit the delay in performance of refit agreement, as well as a fine for failure to fulfill the obligation to provide security for the performance of contractual obligations. The Respondent attributed the fault for the delay to the Claimant, indicating that the Claimant hadn’t fulfilled the counter–obligations in a timely manner. The Arbitral Tribunal considered that the evidence presented by the Respondent couldn’t serve as a basis for exempting him from liability for delay in the performance of works, however, found it was possible to apply Art. 333 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. Since the agreement specifies the Claimant’s requirements to the choice of guarantee giver and didn’t regulate the procedure for the Claimant’s agreement of the conditions of security and given the inadmissibility of turning the forfeit into a way to enrich the creditor – the requirement to hold the Respondent liable for failure to provide new security was declared illegal and not subject to satisfaction.
16.07.2019

The Respondent also obliged himself to pay the Claimant a penalty in case of the fee compensation delay. The settlement agreement is a deal and is one of the ways of protecting subjective rights, to which the rules of Civil Law on contracts, including the rules on freedom of contract, are subject to application.

The Arbitral Tribunal decided that the terms of the settlement agreement, including the term for the compensation of the arbitration fee by the Respondent and its liability for violation of such a term, do not contradict the principles of arbitration proceedings and the provisions of the Decision of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation No. 50 of July 18, 2014 “On the Reconciliation of the Parties in the Arbitration Process”, applied by analogy in this dispute.
