Article 131 of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation. Form and content of the statement of claim (current version)

In a citizen's statement of claim, one of the identifiers of the defendant citizen is indicated if it is known to the plaintiff;

4) what is the violation or threat of violation of the rights, freedoms or legitimate interests of the plaintiff and his demands;

5) the circumstances on which the plaintiff bases his claims and evidence confirming these circumstances;

A statement of claim submitted by filling out a form posted on the official website of the court on the Internet, containing a request to secure the claim, is signed with an enhanced qualified electronic signature in the manner established by the legislation of the Russian Federation.

Claim heterogeneity

The previous section stated that only similar claims can be considered in the same proceeding. However, not so long ago, changes appeared in the legislation that significantly simplified the consideration of cases. “Until the middle of last year, in the arbitration process, the basis for returning a claim was the presence of several requests to one or more defendants, provided that they are not related to each other. However, this norm is now recognized as inappropriate. Now arbitration courts have the right to connect and separate cases according to their internal convictions, based on an assessment of the relatedness of the claims.

Until the middle of last year, in the arbitration process, the basis for returning a claim was the presence of several unrelated requests in it. Now the courts have the right to connect and separate cases based on an assessment of the relatedness of the claims.

At first glance, these changes are technical in nature. However, in practice they have significant positive consequences. Article 130 of the APC has now received a complete meaning,” says lawyer, financial law specialist at the consulting firm Alexey Zaitsev.

For example, previously, when simultaneously appealing against the inaction of employees of the Federal Tax Service and declaring the refusal to reimburse a tax illegal, arbitration courts returned statements of claim, referring to paragraph 2 of Article 129 of the Code of Civil Procedure. This situation made it difficult to protect and restore taxpayers' rights. Now the courts have the opportunity to independently decide the issue of homogeneity of claims, and the practice of considering cases shows that the majority of claims in which property and non-property requests are made to the defendant are accepted by the courts.

A small adjustment to the legislation makes the work of reviewing cases easier, as it is designed to eliminate the emergence of several proceedings at the same time, united by one reason, and to prevent the risk of making conflicting court decisions. At the same time, no one cancels the presence of unifying points: the connection between the requirements must be built on the basis of the evidence that has arisen and (or) presented. The only negative point is that if you combine dissimilar requests in one claim, you will have to pay two state fees. “In both civil and arbitration courts, if you want to make claims of a property nature and invalidate the act, you will be required to pay both fees,” says lawyer Anna Anikina .

Introductory part of the statement of claim

Enter here:

  • name of the court of general jurisdiction (clause 1, part 2, article 131 of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation). Most claims, the price of which does not exceed 50,000 rubles, are filed with a magistrate. The rest - to the district court (clause 5, part 1, article 23, article 24 of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation). As a general rule, a claim is filed in court at the place of residence or location of the defendant (Article 28 of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation);
  • information about the parties - name, place of residence (location), as well as the name and address of your representative, if he submits an application (clause 2, 3, part 2, article 131 of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation). In addition, you must indicate contact coordinates (telephone, fax, e-mail); the price of the claim, if it is subject to assessment (clause 6, part 2, article 131 of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation); amount of state duty.

Documents to be attached to the claim

Attach to the claim (Article 132 of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation):

  • its copies in accordance with the number of defendants and third parties;
  • document confirming payment of state duty;
  • a document certifying the authority of the head of your organization or its representative.

For example, this could be a power of attorney, minutes of the general meeting of LLC participants on the election of a director, or a corresponding decision of the sole participant of the LLC;

  • documents confirming the circumstances on which the claims are based (with copies for defendants and third parties if they do not have such documents). Depending on the situation, these may be copies of contracts, payment orders, reconciliation acts, transfer acts, etc.;
  • calculation of the amount you are collecting or challenging, with copies of the number of defendants and third parties. You or your representative must sign the settlement. Please note that the law requires that the calculation of the amount be indicated in the text of the claim and at the same time includes it among the mandatory annexes (clause 6, part 2, article 131, article 132 of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation). Taking this into account, we believe that it is better to provide the calculation both in the text of the claim and in a separate appendix, so as not to give the court a reason to immobilize the claim on the basis of Part 1 of Art. 136 Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation;
  • documents that confirm compliance with the mandatory pre-trial procedure, if it is provided for by federal law or agreement. This may be a copy of the claim with confirmation of its sending to the defendant, a response to the claim (if any).

We also recommend that you attach to your claim a current extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities in relation to your organization.
