Abstract

Russia historically belongs to the European continental legal family and is a civil-law country which legal system is essentially based on Roman law, certainly through subsequent European legal texts. In particular, Russian Civil law is essentially based on German model. Litigation between commercial entities and sole entrepreneurs is governed by Commercial Procedure Code, whereas the Civil Procedure Code governs the judicial resolution of the disputes involving individuals other than solo entrepreneurs (both codes entered into force in 2003). In Russia there is no separate commercial code and the Civil Code governs, in particular, relations between commercial entities and sole entrepreneurs. Russian law consists of federal law and the law of constituent entities of Russian Federation.
