The Event. Comments of the Experts
The unification of the superior courts In the near future the judicial system of Russia will be substantially reformed. For jurisdiction collisions resolution purposes the President came forward with an initiative of unifying two parallel acting highest judicial authorities into a single Supreme Court. Some time ago, when such a possibility was not seriously discussed, we suggested our experts to argue about a possible unification of the systems. Today it is rather interesting to re-read these - more than urgent - opinions.

Goltsblat A.A., Trusova E.A. Stripping off the corporate veil in the judicial and arbitration practice of Russia. The independence and liability limit principles, which underlie the concept of a legal entity, not infrequently serve as a means of various kinds of abuses. The contemporary doctrine has developed a method to fight this phenomenon – the so called concept of stripping off the corporate veil, which has recently been apprehended in Russia too. Based on the analysis of the law-enforcement practice the authors mark out universal criteria for applying this concept by domestic courts.

Nazykov A.L. Resulting trust v. piercing the corporate veil: in what cases assets of the company should be considered belonging to its Control Person The registration of property in favor of the affiliated company is a widespread phenomenon, caused by various reasons. At first sight piercing the corporate veil may seem a short way to the assets, secreted by a legal personality of the company. The contemporary English judicial practice has found a way to agree the principle, established in case Salomon v. A. Salomon & Co. Ltd. (1897), with the interests of the persons, seeking the recognition of company’s assets as property of its Control Person. Among other things the author investigates into the new approaches, used by the English court in case Prest v. Petrodel Resources Ltd.

Karnakov Ya. V. Revisiting the question of affiliation of non-state pension plan The controversy, surrounding the definition of the criteria of the affiliation and expediency of the consolidation of their exhaustive list in the legislation, has recently hardened. In this article the author shows with a specific reference how loopholes in the law can be used to achieve an apparent independence between the de facto mutually dependent organizations, directly or indirectly participating in the entrepreneurial activity. A special attention is being paid to the problem of the recognition of the affiliation of noncommercial organizations according to the Russian law. The conclusions, based on the research results, may turn out to be useful not only for a law enforcement official, but also for a law-maker when solving the issue about reforming the affiliation regulations.
