The Event. Comments of the Experts

Arbitrability of Corporate Disputes
The beginning of 2012 was marked by an aggravation of a discussion on the arbitration courts’ competence. In the corporate dispute between N.V. Maksimov and OJSC “Novolipetskiy Metallurgicheskiy Kombinat”, it was not ICAC with the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation (which considered the case in accordance with the parties’ agreement) that drew the line, but state courts, which recalled its judgment, including, in particular, on the basis of non-arbitrability of the corporate dispute. At first, the Constitutional Court of the RF in its Ruling of 21.12.2011 No 1804-О-О and then also the RF Supreme Court of Arbitration in its Ruling of 30.01.2012 No. ВАС-15384/11 agreed with such logic, pleading special jurisdiction of corporate disputes to Court of Arbitrations. Today our experts discuss whether corporate disputes can be a point at issue by arbitration courts.
