The draft law \u201cOn State Email\u201d, developed by MCBA “Bureau of\nLawyers “De jure” and Senator Russkikh, was submitted to the State\nDuma<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pravo.ru reports that on February 3, 2020,\nAlexey Russkikh, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Federation Council Committee on\nEconomic Policy, introduced a draft law to the State Duma, which was prepared\ntogether with lawyers of MCBA “Bureau of Lawyers “De jure”. An\nexplanatory note to it states that using state electronic mail (SEM), citizens\nand legal entities will be able to send and receive legally significant\nmessages from authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the authors, SEM will radically\nexpand the existing functionality of the public services portal: so far, only\ntraffic police fines and notifications from the Federal Bailiff Service (FBS) can\nbe received electronically.  And even\nthen, registered electronic letters come only from the FBS of Moscow and from\nthe traffic police of Moscow, the Moscow and Rostov regions.  If the law is passed, then letters can not\nonly be received, but also sent to government agencies, and all over the\ncountry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is assumed that access to the SEM for\nindividuals will be provided on the basis of personal applications.  And legal entities and individual\nentrepreneurs will gain access from the moment of registration.  \u201cAnd this is fundamentally important, –\nFilippov, Head of MCBA “Bureau of Lawyers “De jure”, says. – \u201cIn\nthis way, we will solve the problems of improper notification of Defendants in\nthe courts, loss of legally significant letters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A working group on countering the spread of sniffing is formed in the\nPublic Chamber of the Russian Federation.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

RIA Novosti informs about the hearing held on\nFebruary 10 \u201cSniffing is a new form of teenage substance abuse, problem\nanalysis and ways to overcome it.\u201d \nSultan Khamzaev, member of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation,\nHead of the Federal project \u201cSober Russia\u201d, said that Moscow and the\nYamalo-Nenets district could become pilot regions for testing a program to\nlimit the sale to children products containing butane and isobutane – lighters\nand liquefied gas cylinders.  It is these\nproducts that become the source of narcotic “high” for teenagers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking at the hearing, Nikita Filippov, Head\nof MCBA “Bureau of Lawyers “De jure”, noted that in order to\ncombat the drug threat quickly, the Government of the Russian Federation should\nbe given the right to compile lists of hazardous substances and their\nconcentrations.  A strategic solution to\nthe problem would be to amend Article 26 and 28 of the Civil Code of the\nRussian Federation.  At the request of\nthe project \u201cSober Russia\u201d, such a bill was prepared by lawyers of \u201cDe Jure\u201d. It\nis supposed to introduce restrictions for teenagers under 18 on the purchase of\nhousehold goods containing intoxicating substances in concentrations hazardous\nto human health.  Teenagers will be able\nto buy these products, but only with the written consent of their parents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tricky Perks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kommersant-Money magazine wonders who can claim\ntax deductions and figure out what to do in difficult situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Head of MCBA “Bureau of Lawyers\n“De jure” Nikita Filippov notes, if the mother’s capital was used\nwhen purchasing real estate, the deduction will not apply to those expenses for\nthe purchase of an apartment or house that are covered by the mother’s capital.\nIf part of the cost of housing was paid off at the expense of the employer,\nthen these funds will also not be taken into account when calculating the amount\nof the deduction, the expert emphasized. \nBut when purchasing housing without finishing, the cost of finishing\nmaterials for repair can be included in the amount of the tax deduction, as\nwell as work on connecting gas, water, etc., the lawyer advises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are many nuances associated with the\nreturn of money for education. Deduction for yourself is provided even in the\ncase of distance learning, and for relatives \u2014 only in the case of full-time.\nThe maximum amount of deduction for yourself study is from 120 thousand rubles\nper year. That is, 15.6 thousand maximum will be returned from the budget.  The deduction for a child or relative is from\n50 thousand rubles, that is, 6.5 thousand rubles to return. At the same time,\nNikita Filippov emphasizes that from the point of view of the law it does not\nmatter where you study.  Courses of\nikebana, a foreign language, compulsory professional development will give you\nthe right to deduction, as well as education in kindergartens and schools if\nthey have the status of an educational institution.  Head of MCBA “De jure” also draws\nattention to the fact that if a taxpayer studies himself and also pays for the\neducation of his children, then he has the right to claim a few\ndeductions.  For their receipt is\nrequired to submit a declaration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fake white sheet on a green background<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRussian Newspaper” reminds that the law\non organic production came into force in Russia on January 1. Manufacturers of\nproducts without the use of agrochemicals, antibiotics, or hormones can mark\ntheir products with a special sign \u2013 a white sheet on a green background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, no liability is provided for the\nunlawful use of the new mark.  As Nikita\nFilippov, Head of MCBA “Bureau of Lawyers “De jure”, explained, the\nmanufacturer can be brought to administrative responsibility only for deceiving\nthe consumer (Article 14.7 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the\nRussian Federation).  However, in\npractice this practically does not happen – primarily because this concept has\nnot been mentioned in the legislation until recently, and the concepts of\n\u201ceco\u201d, \u201cbio\u201d and similar are absent even today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to avoid fines and courts for placing signs on the facade?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bussines.ru explains the procedure for\ninstalling signboards on the facade of a building and how it differs from\noutdoor advertising.  Nikita Filippov, Head\nof MCBA “Bureau of Lawyers “De jure”, reminds that the\nprovisions of the Federal Law “On advertising” do not apply to signs\nthat do not contain advertising information. However, there is no such concept\nas a “signage” in the law. This is why it is difficult to distinguish\nbetween outdoor advertising and signage. Unfortunately, as a rule, such issues\nare already resolved in court.  \u201cIn some\ncases, even when it seems that the sign is for informational purposes only, the\ncourts refer the disputed construction to advertising. For example, due to the\nfact that its dimensions exceed the maximum which allowed for signboards\nestablished in the corresponding municipality. Or the signage is installed away\nfrom the office or on the other side of the building,” the lawyer warns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I not be allowed to enter the country if everything is OK with my\nvisa?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Express Newspaper” answers an urgent\nand inconvenient question, why a visa does not guarantee that you will be\nallowed into the country.  Nikita\nFilippov, Head of MCBA “Bureau of Lawyers “De jure”,  notes that a valid visa is not enough for a\nproblem-free crossing of the border of another country: \u201cYou also need to have\na package of documents with you and familiarize yourself with the migration\npolicy of the country where you are going.\u201d For example, at the entrance to the\nSchengen zone, border guards have the right to request documents for\naccommodation (invitation of the receiving person or hotel reservation),\ndocuments confirming the route of travel within the European Union and return\ntickets.  In the United States, suspicion\nis enough to refuse entry.  \u201cIf the\nborder guard decides that the purpose of your visit does not correspond to the\nvisa you have received, he may invite you for questioning with baggage\ninspection. There are cases when people were deported with visa cancellation\nbecause of photos in social networks,\u201d – Filippov recalls. Another restriction\nfor tourists, which is relevant today, is associated with epidemics. For\nexample, due to coronavirus, many countries do not allow foreign citizens who\nhave visited the China to enter their territory. These include Russia, the\nUnited States, Japan, and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to avoid becoming a victim of scammers?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The portal “LgotOtvet” investigates\nhow not to fall for the bait of scammers, who have recently bombarded gullible\ncitizens with fake news via the Internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nikita Filippov, Head of MCBA “Bureau of\nLawyers “De jure”, is convinced that it is possible to bring scammers\nto justice: \u201cIn accordance with Article 13.15 of the Code of Administrative\nOffenses of the Russian Federation, dissemination of deliberately inaccurate\nsocially significant information in the media as well as in information and\ntelecommunication networks under the guise of reliable messages is an\nadministrative offense if such a distribution threatens the life or health of\ncitizens, massive violation of public order or security, etc.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, positive judicial practice has\nalready been gained, the lawyer recalls. \nFor example, on January 20, 2020, Khoroshevsky District Court upheld the\ndecision of the justice of the peace of the judicial section No. 157 of Khoroshevo-Mnevniki\ndistrict of Moscow dated November 27, 2019 on bringing LLC \u201cMoment of Truth\u201d to\nadministrative responsibility under part 9 of Article 13.15 of the Code of\nAdministrative Offenses of the Russian Federation and a fine of 200 thousand\nrubles.  The reason for the trial was the\nhyperlinks to Youtube videos posted on the website by a network publication\nthat broadcast information recognized as unreliable by the court. \u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Criminal risks of the chief accountant and why did the fraud cases go<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Clerk.ru\npublishes an author’s article of Alexander Pogodin, a member of the Presidium\nof MCBA “Bureau of Lawyers “De jure”, Deputy Head of criminal\naffairs. \u201cMany legal experts agree today that criminal risks have recently become\nkey for business.  And this means that a\nnumber of seemingly everyday activities of the chief accountant may have very\nserious risks not only of civil law, but also of criminal liability,\u201d – the\nlawyer writes.  He identifies two key\nrisks.  Firstly, it is the possibility of\nbringing chief accountants to subsidiary liability under the bankruptcy law and,\nas a consequence, to criminal liability. \nAnd secondly, the risks associated with accounting and financial\nmanagement when performing work, providing services, purchasing goods under\nstate and municipal contracts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such an “inconvenient” jury trial<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The publication “Banks today”\nreflects on the fate of the jury trial in Russia. In fact, the full\nimplementation of juries to the judicial system protracted on until 2003. From\nthat moment on, the assessors decided the fate of 1000-1600 people annually. In\nmost cases, the verdicts were guilty \u2013 from 62 to 82% of cases, usually 16-17%\nof the defendants acquitted. But even such percentage of acquittal verdicts was\nhigher than the national average, and already then began to “close”\nsome elements of crimes for jury, Nikita Filippov from MCBA “Bureau of\nLawyers “De jure” recalls. However, such high percentage of\nacquittals does not mean jury\u2019s incompetence. “Such high percentage of\nacquittals is not a consequence of the incompetence of jurors in matters of\ncriminal law. It is due to the specifics of their assessment of evidence. For a\njuror, the administering justice is not a routine, ordinary job. When deciding\non the fate of a person, the jury is afraid to make a mistake, carefully checks\nall the evidence in the case and is guided not by the rules of law, but by his\ninternal ideas about morality, therefore even the slightest doubt about the\nguilt of the accused is enough for the jury to make justify verdict,\u201d- the\nlawyer emphasizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to him, the reform of the jury trial,\nwhich began in 2015 at the initiative of the President of the Russian\nFederation, aimed at increasing the role of this institution in the Russian criminal\njustice system, will inevitably lead to an increase in the quality of the\nstandard of evidence in criminal cases and the development of the Russian\ncriminal justice system as a whole. “The verdicts of the jury and the\nstatistics of the activity result of this form of court allow the judicial\nsystem to take into account the opinion of the people’s legal consciousness, to\ntake into account the requirements of society for justice and the legality of\njudicial decisions,”- Nikita Filippov emphasizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
