Disputes Involving an Official Receiver Within the Framework of Application of Clause 2 of Part 1 of Article 143 of the Code of Commercial Procedure of the Russian Federation

The article examines the law enforcement practice related to the interpretation by the courts of paragraph 2 of part 1 of article 143 of the Arbitrazh (Commercial) Procedure Code of the Russian Federation, devoted to the duty of the court to suspend proceedings in a number of cases, in particular, in the case of a citizen serving in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation as part of a special military operation. The author gives an assessment of the amendments made to this article in December 2022, their teleological orientation. Within the framework of the study, the author concludes that the current law enforcement, according to which the fact of concluding a contract on military service is sufficient for suspending the proceedings, is inconsistent with the text and objectives of the article in question. The main attention is paid to the possible consequences of such law enforcement in disputes involving an arbitration administrator in insolvency (bankruptcy) cases, in particular, on the recovery of documents and on the recovery of losses. As a conclusion, the author considers it necessary to provide explanations of the operation of the norm in question from the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation in the framework of a specific case or in the form of an abstract explanation.
