It should be noted that those who entered into a cassation appeal are subject to legal force court decisions.

Appeal is a procedural document - written demand to the court about changing (cancelling) a judicial act that contradicts the recognition subjective law applicant (plaintiff).

The right to appeal to the cassation court

The right to file a cassation appeal is most often reserved by the legislator for the persons participating in the case. However, depending on the category trial the circle of such persons is changing.

So in civil process The following may act as applicants for a cassation appeal:

- other persons, if their rights and legitimate interests violated by court decisions (part 1 of article 376 of the Civil Procedure Code Russian Federation- hereinafter referred to as the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation);

- if we are talking about applying to the cassation court with a proposal to review court decisions that have entered into legal force, if a prosecutor participated in the consideration of the case, then they have the right to file officials prosecution authorities specified inArticle 377of this Code (Part 3 of Article 37 of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation).

IN administrative proceedings have a slight analogy with civil proceedings:

- other persons,by other persons if their rights, freedoms and legitimate interests are violated judicial acts (Part 1, Article 318 Code administrative proceedings of the Russian Federation further - CAS RF);

If a prosecutor participated in the consideration of an administrative case, the following persons have the right to submit requests for review of judicial acts that have entered into legal force:

1) Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation and his deputies - to any court of cassation;

2) prosecutor of the republic, territory, region, city federal significance, autonomous region, autonomous district, military district (fleet) - respectively to the presidium of the supreme court of the republic, regional, regional court, court of a federal city, court of an autonomous region, court of an autonomous district, district (naval) military court (Part 6 of Article 318 of the CAS RF ).

In criminal proceedings it is a little different

The provisions of Article 401.2 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation (hereinafter referred to as the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation) determine that a court decision that has entered into legal force can be appealed in the manner established by this chapter to a cassation court convicted, acquitted, their defenders and legal representatives, victims, private prosecutor, their legal representatives and representatives, as well asotherpersons to the extent that the appealed court decision affects their rights and legitimate interests. Civil plaintiff, civil defendant or their legal representatives and representatives have the right to appeal the court decision insofar as it concerns civil action

  1. The following may apply for a review of a court decision that has entered into legal force:

1) the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation and his deputies - to any court of cassation;

2) a prosecutor of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation, a military prosecutor equivalent to him and their deputies- respectively, to the presidium of the supreme court of a republic, a regional or regional court, a court of a federal city, a court of an autonomous region, a court of an autonomous district, a district (naval) military court.

But at the same time, for example, a civil plaintiff in a criminal proceeding has the right to file a cassation appeal against a court decision only insofar as it relates to the civil claim. Concerning general solution court in a criminal case, he has no right to appeal it.

The Arbitration Procedural Code of the Russian Federation by provisions (hereinafter referred to as the Arbitration Procedure Code of the Russian Federation) of Article 273 establishes the following

  1. Court orders that have entered into legal force, issued by the arbitration court of the first instance, the decision of the arbitration court of the first instance, if such a decision was the subject of consideration in the arbitration court appellate court or if the arbitration court of appeal refused to restore the missed deadline for filing an appeal, and the decision of the arbitration court of appeal may be appealed in cassation proceedings in whole or in part, provided that otherwise is not provided for by this Code.

persons participating in the case, as well as other persons in cases provided for by this Code. (as amended by Federal Laws dated June 28, 2014 No. 186-FZ, dated March 2, 2016 No. 47-FZ).

A similar rule applies when appealing decisions of the Court that have entered into legal force. By intellectual rights accepted by it as a court of first instance. (Part 2 of the above article of the Code).

The court, for its part, has the right to consider the case only within the limits determined by the complaint. This means that if a court decision is only partially challenged, then the cassation court should not and will not check the rest.

Form and content of the cassation appeal

As stated above, a cassation appeal must be made in writing.

There are clear regulations establishing the rules for the content of a cassation appeal (submission).

Based on the commonality of all procedural postulates, a number of basic requirements for the content of a cassation appeal (submission) can be identified:

1) The details of the complaint must contain the following information:

Deadlines for filing a cassation appeal

Innings cassation appeal is a procedural action that allows you to cancel judicial acts that have entered into force in the event that, during their adoption, the rules of material or procedural law.

What you should pay attention to here is the observance of procedural deadlines, the omission of which may lead to the deprivation of a person in need of judicial protection, the right to appeal, and, as a result, the opportunity to restore their legal rights.

Depending on the type of law your case belongs to, the period for cassation appeal depends. Currently, there are 4 branches of procedural law: civil, administrative, arbitration and criminal processes.

1) If we consider the civil process- court decisions that have entered into legal force, with the exception of court decisions of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, can be appealed to the cassation court within six months from the date of their entry into force provided that the applicant has exhausted other methods of appeal established by this Code court order before the day it comes into force (as follows from the contents of Parts 1, 2 of Article 376 of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation). That is, this means if the controversial decision (ruling) was appealed to lower authorities (court of appeal). Or if the deadline for appeal was missed, and the applicant applied to the court of second instance with a petition to restore the deadline, but this was not done (i.e., a refusal was received).

2), which is a novelty for Russian legal proceedings, however, which traces the analogy of the law with civil proceedings, also provides for a six-month appeal period from the date of entry into force of the judicial act. However, provided that the persons specified in part 1 of this article have exhausted other methods established by this Code to appeal a judicial act before the day it enters into legal force (Part 2 of Article 318 of the CAS RF).

3) In criminal proceedings The period for appealing in cassation is not limited. However, based on the results of the cassation review, the situation of the convicted person can be either improved or worsened. In this case, the exception is the review in the cassation and supervisory instances of a sentence, ruling, or court decision precisely on grounds that entail a worsening of the situation of a convicted person, acquitted person, or a person against whom the criminal case has been terminated, is allowed within a period not exceeding 1 year from the date of their entry into force, if during judicial trial there were violations of the law that influenced the outcome of the case, distorting the very essence of justice and the meaning of the court decision as an act of justice.

4) Arbitration procedural legislation sets two month terms for appeal from the date of entry into force of the court decision. In exceptional cases, if missed for reasons beyond the control of the person who filed such a complaint, including due to his lack of information about the appealed judicial act, at the request of the said person, it can be restored by the arbitration court of the cassation instance, provided that the request submitted no later than in six months from the date of entry into force of the appealed judicial act or, if the petition was filed by a person specified in Article 42 of the Arbitration Procedure Code of the Russian Federation, from the day when this person learned or should have learned about the violation of his rights and legitimate interests by the appealed judicial act (Part 2 of Art. 276 Arbitration Procedure Code of the Russian Federation).

Thus, it is necessary to take into account the deadlines for cassation appeal, since it is sometimes not possible to restore such a period, even taking into account compelling reasons.

Procedure for filing a cassation appeal

The question often arises: where and how should a cassation appeal be filed?

Everything again depends on the type of legal proceedings.

1) Civil process.

By virtue of the provisions of Art. 377 Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation - Procedure for filing cassation appeals, presentations (as amended. Federal Law dated 09.12.2010 No. 353-FZ).

  1. Cassation appeal, presentation submitted directly to the cassation court.
  2. Cassation appeals and presentations are submitted:

Wherein Supreme Court The Russian Federation, in its Resolution of the Plenum of December 27, 2016 No. 62 “On some issues of the application by courts of the provisions of the Civil Procedure Code of the Russian Federation,” defined the position regarding the appeal of a court order issued by a magistrate directly to the cassation court in the manner prescribed Article 377Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation.

2) Administrative process.

Provisions of Art. 319 CAS RF actually copies the above provisions of the Civil Procedure Code of the Russian Federation with the exception of paragraphs 1, 3 of part 2 of Article 319 CAS RF, which are interpreted in paragraph 84 of the Resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation dated September 27, 2016 N 36 “On some issues of application by courts of the Administrative Code legal proceedings of the Russian Federation" Within the meaning of paragraphs 1, 3 of part 2 of Article 319 of the CAS of the Russian Federation, cassation (private) complaints, submissions against decisions and rulings of district courts, decisions and rulings of the supreme courts of republics, regional, regional courts, courts of federal cities, autonomous courts region, courts of autonomous districts (hereinafter referred to as regional or equivalent courts), rendered by them as courts of first instance and subject to appeal to appeal procedure in the same court, as well as appeal rulings of regional or equivalent courts are filed with the Judicial Collegium for Administrative Cases of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, if the relevant judicial acts were appealed to the presidium of a regional or equivalent court.

Just as for arbitration courts, part 3 of the above-mentioned article of the CAS of the Russian Federation suggests that it is possible to file a cassation appeal electronically by filling out a form posted on the official website of the court on the Internet.

3) Criminal trial echoes the norms of civil and administrative procedural legislation, however, in Article 401.3 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation “Procedure for filing a cassation appeal, presentation” there are slight differences.

So, according to Part 1 of the said article of the Code, a cassation appeal or presentation is filed directly to the cassation court, authorized in accordance with part two of this article to review the appealed court decision.

  1. Cassation appeals and presentations are submitted to:

1) sentence and ruling of the magistrate, sentence, ruling and ruling district court, appellate decisions and rulings, as well as interim court decisions of the supreme court of a republic, a regional or regional court, a court of a federal city, a court of an autonomous region, a court of an autonomous district, rendered by them in the course of criminal proceedings as a court of first instance, - respectively, to the presidium of the supreme court of the republic, regional or regional court, court of a federal city, court of an autonomous region, court of an autonomous district (as amended by Federal Law No. 217-FZ dated July 23, 2013);

2) court decisions specified in paragraph 1 of this part, if they were appealed in cassation to the presidium of the supreme court of the republic, regional or regional court, court of a federal city, court of an autonomous region, court of an autonomous district; a verdict or other final judicial decision of the supreme court of a republic, a regional or regional court, a court of a federal city, a court of an autonomous region, a court of an autonomous district, if these court decisions were not the subject of consideration by the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation on appeal; decisions of the presidium of the supreme court of a republic, a regional or regional court, a court of a federal city, a court of an autonomous region, a court of an autonomous district - to the Judicial Collegium for Criminal Cases of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation

(as amended by Federal Law No. 382-FZ dated December 28, 2013);

3) the verdict, ruling and ruling of the garrison military court, appeal decisions and rulings of the district (naval) military court - to the presidium of the district (naval) military court (as amended by Federal Law No. 217-FZ of July 23, 2013);

4) interim court decisions of the district (naval) military court, rendered by it in the course of criminal proceedings as a court of first instance, - to the presidium of the district (naval) military court ;

5) court decisions specified in paragraph 3 of this part, if they were appealed in cassation to the presidium of the district (naval) military court; a verdict or other final judicial decision of a district (naval) military court, if they were not the subject of consideration by the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation on appeal; decisions of the presidium of the district (naval) military court - to the Judicial Collegium for Military Personnel Cases of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation (Clause 5 as amended by Federal Law No. 29-FZ dated March 12, 2014).

At the same time, the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation in paragraph 3 of the Resolution of the Plenum of January 28, 2014 No. 2 (as amended on March 3, 2015) “On the application of the norms of Chapter 47.1 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation governing proceedings in the court of cassation” pointed out that, that the proceedings in the court of cassation are carried out in compliance with the requirement of instance established by Article 401.3 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation, in accordance with which a cassation complaint, presentation, as well as a criminal case, are first considered in a lower and then in a higher court of cassation. In this case, courts should keep in mind that a court decision can be appealed to the Judicial Collegium for Criminal Cases of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, to the Military Collegium of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, provided that it was appealed to the Presidium of a lower court (paragraphs 2 and 5 of Part 2 Article 401.3 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation as amended by Federal Law of December 28, 2013 N 382-FZ).

The decision of a judge of a district court, a garrison military court, issued in execution of a sentence, regardless of what level the court passed the sentence, can be reviewed in cassation only in compliance with the authority established by part 2 of Article 401.3 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation, that is, by the presidium of the relevant the supreme court of the republic, a regional, regional or equivalent court, and then the Judicial Collegium for Criminal Cases of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, the Military Collegium of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation.

A cassation appeal or presentation, in which the verdict and the judge's decision made in execution of the sentence are simultaneously appealed, are subject to consideration by the court of cassation, which is competent to review the verdict, regardless of which district court judge (of the same or another subject of the Russian Federation) made the decision in order of execution of the sentence.

4) Arbitration process.

The procedure for filing a cassation appeal in the arbitration process is enshrined in Article 275 of the Arbitration Procedure Code of the Russian Federation.

  1. The cassation appeal is submitted to the arbitration court of the cassation instance, which is authorized to consider it, through the arbitration court that made the decision.
  2. The arbitration court that made the decision is obliged to send the cassation appeal along with the case to the appropriate arbitration court of the cassation instance within three days from the date the complaint was received by the court.

According to paragraph three of paragraph 42 of the Resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation dated December 27, 2016 No. 62 “On some issues of application by courts of the provisions of the Civil Procedure Code of the Russian Federation”, cassation appeal against arbitration order, is submitted according to the rules of Article 275 of the Arbitration Procedure Code of the Russian Federation to the arbitration court of the cassation instance, authorized to consider it, through the arbitration court that issued the court order.

At the same time, the Supreme Court noted that the violation established order filing a cassation appeal against a court order is not grounds for returning the cassation appeal. In order to identify the grounds for reviewing a court order in cassation proceedings, a judge of an arbitration court of cassation has the right to request a case from the arbitration court that adopted the contested court order (Part 2 of Article 288.1 of the Arbitration Procedure Code of the Russian Federation).

When filing a cassation appeal in an arbitration case, it is also important to take into account the Resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation dated 10/08/2012 No. 60 (as amended on 07/02/2013) “On some issues that arose in connection with the creation of the Intellectual Rights Court in the arbitration court system”

By virtue of Part 4 of Article 222.9 of the Arbitration Procedure Code of the Russian Federation decision of the Intellectual Property Rights Court such cases can be appealed to the cassation instance, which, based on paragraph 1 of Article 43.6 of the Law on Arbitration Courts, is the presidium of the Intellectual Rights Court (clause 10).

At the same time, it is important to note that the procedure for legal proceedings in arbitration courts is determined by the Constitution of the Russian Federation, the Federal Constitutional Law “On judicial system Russian Federation" and the Federal Constitutional Law "On Arbitration Courts in the Russian Federation", the Arbitration Procedural Code of the Russian Federation (hereinafter referred to as the Code) and other federal laws adopted in accordance with them (Part 2 of Article 3 of the Arbitration Procedure Code of the Russian Federation)

Thus, depending on which district the case under consideration belongs to, taking into account jurisdiction (Central, Far Eastern, West Siberian, Moscow, etc.), the arbitration court of the district is determined to which the future cassation appeal should be addressed. In this case, the cassation appeal will still be filed through the court that made the contested decision (first instance), after which, together with the case, it will go to the cassation court.

This procedure differs from civil, administrative and criminal processes, where the complaint is filed directly with the cassation courts.

I - the presidium of the regional and equivalent court (in relation to Sevastopol - this is the Sevastopol City Court) Federal Constitutional Law of March 21, 2014 N 6-FKZ (as amended on December 28, 2016) “On the admission of the Republic of Crimea to the Russian Federation and the formation of Russian Federation of new subjects - the Republic of Crimea and the federal city of Sevastopol"

However, the legislator also determined the circle of persons exempt from the burden of incurring expenses associated with the payment of state duties.

In particular, as the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation explained,

To summarize the above, we can conclude that when filing and drawing up a cassation appeal, it is important to take into account several main factors.

  • 1) Understand whether the applicant has the right to appeal in cassation and who can act on his behalf.
  • 2) Are the procedural deadlines for appealing judicial acts of lower authorities observed?
  • 3) Do the form and content of the procedural document itself (in the case under consideration, a cassation appeal) comply with the norms of a particular procedural legislation.
  • 4) Whether the procedure for filing a cassation appeal in the relevant case has been violated.
  • 5) Is it required to pay a state fee for filing a cassation appeal?

Of course, the most important thing is the content of the cassation appeal, the weight and reasoning of the arguments set out in it, indicating the violated norms of substantive and procedural law.

However, it should be noted that new circumstances and evidence in the case, which were not the subject of study by lower authorities, cannot serve as a basis for reviewing the judicial acts adopted in the case through the cassation procedure, which is intended only to check judicial acts for legality, as well as compliance with the norms substantive law and rules of procedural law. In this regard, the cassation appeal must clearly indicate the violations committed by the courts, without eliminating which it is impossible to restore and protect violated rights, freedoms and legitimate interests, as well as the protection of public interests protected by law.

The court, for its part, has the procedural right to consider the case only within the limits determined by the complaint. This means that if a court decision is only partially challenged, then verification of the rest of the judicial act remains at the discretion of the court.

Appeal

The appeal did not state that the requirements of Article 122 were not met when making the decision. Can I point out this violation in the cassation appeal?

Cassation appeal against appellate ruling filed in cases of violation by the court of civil and civil procedural rules. If there were violations, then the degree of their influence on the outcome of the trial is determined. Many people do not understand the specific purpose of this procedure and simply file a cassation, guided by their dissatisfaction with the court decision.

This is not a re-examination of the previous case or the facts related to it, but a detailed intervention in certain mechanisms and procedural points where your rights or the progress of the case were violated. Let's sort it out legislative basis cassation, their structural content and when and how to submit them.

The meaning of the procedure is to request a review or cancellation of a court order by a higher authority, due to violations of procedural and substantive law. According to paragraph 2 of Art. 376 of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation, an appeal can be drawn up within 6 months after the resolution comes into force.

The time frame for consideration of applications is regulated by Article 382 of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation.

Any participant in the process of lower appellate and first instance has the right to submit an appeal within the specified time frame.

This circle includes:

  • Plaintiffs;
  • Defendants;
  • Convicts;
  • Victims (criminal proceedings);
  • Third parties whose interests are affected by the decision;
  • Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation and his deputies;
  • Prosecutors of republics, territories, and so on in accordance with Part 2, Clause 3, Art. 377 Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation.
Please note: the complaint filed by the prosecutor is referred to as a cassation presentation. It can only be filed in cases where the prosecutor has already participated in your proceedings. This right is enjoyed not only by prosecutors, but also by employees (officials) of the prosecutor’s office.

Regulatory regulation of the process is carried out in different ways, depending on the nature of the case (Arbitration dispute, criminal process, civil, etc.).

Rules for submitting an appeal

Civil proceedings presuppose that the complaint:

  • It will be sent to the cassation authority, which did not have your case pending;
  • Submitted only to an order (resolution) that has entered into force;
  • Submitted to orders issued by the presidium of the regional court, justices of the peace. Full list is prescribed in paragraph 2 of Art. 377 Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation.

When filing a cassation appeal, it is necessary to comply with two principles: jurisdiction, priority. Filing is carried out only to higher courts regarding the authorities that made the decision in the case.

The legislation of the Russian Federation presupposes a hierarchy of legal proceedings, therefore a cassation appeal against an appeal ruling on civil case cannot be considered unless previously submitted. Can't go to higher authority, bypassing the lower one.

Drawing up a complaint

All aspects of the content are regulated by Article 378 of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation:

  • The name of the court where the appeal will be made;
  • Full name, address permanent place residence/registration of the applicant, including data on his procedural role in lower authorities;
  • List of names and addresses of former participants in the process;
  • List of authorities that considered the case short description rulings, decisions, orders made by lower courts;
  • List of grounds for complaint.

In order to correctly formalize and draw up a claim in accordance with the points indicated above, you can download a sample cassation complaint against an appellate ruling for a clear example.

The structure of the complaint against the ruling consists of 4 parts:

  1. Introductory;
  2. Descriptive
  3. Motivational;
  4. Petitionary;

The first part is the header of the document, where the applicant’s data is indicated, where the document is sent, etc. The second part contains information directly related to the reasons for which the cassation appeal is filed. The third contains evidence, which consists of references to individual acts legislative framework. Most often they refer to the Civil Procedure Code, since the meaning of this procedure is to identify procedural violations that influenced the court’s decision. The petition section consists entirely of the applicant’s demands, the satisfaction of which will restore his violated rights.

All structural aspects of the statement of claim can be clearly seen in the sample cassation complaint in a civil case on our website.

Reasons for return

The cassation is returned only to the person who submitted it within 10 calendar days, from the date of its adoption by the relevant authority. If it was submitted via the Internet portal sudrf.ru or my.arbitr.ru (when appealing the ruling of the arbitration court), then a notification about the refusal to accept it for processing will be sent via email. mailing address, which was used to register the account.

Reasons for refusal/return:

  • When writing a complaint, the norms and requirements regulated in Section 4 of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation were not taken into account;
  • The person who filed the cassation does not have the right to do so;
  • Referral to the wrong court;
  • Expiration of the protest period.

The expired period can be restored by filing a petition "". The petition is examined by the judge personally, after which he issues either an affirmative or a negative verdict. The refusal to accept the application can also be appealed to a higher authority. However, when stating reasons in the document, you must indicate their importance and objectivity. These reasons are: serious illnesses, hospitalization, lack of notification of the court order.

Please note that some interested parties may object to the written petition. If the objecting party provides evidence that the reasons are not valid, the judge may deny the request.

The applicant may return a cassation appeal against the appeal ruling. To refuse, you will need to send a corresponding application before considering the complaint. After submitting your review, you are deprived of your rights to cassation appeal against the court decision in the case under consideration.

When filing complaints, remember that the court adheres to the principle of instant appeal. This means that it is impossible to appeal a court decision in cassation if you have not previously filed an appeal. Jumping over the head, as was the case before, is not allowed, which makes this procedure excessively labor-intensive and impossible to carry it out correctly without the help of a competent lawyer.

Question: How and where to file a cassation appeal? Do I need to attach copies to the cassation appeal? decisions made and decisions on the case, how many copies must be attached? What are the grounds for canceling or changing a court order? What are the first and second cassation?

I answer the question in relation to Civil Procedural Code Russian Federation.

Where and how to file a cassation appeal? What are the first and second cassation (cassation instances)?


Cassation appeal
must be submitted directly to the cassation court in accordance with Art. 377 Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation.

So, in order to understand what a cassation instance is and why there are two of them, let’s open Article 377 of the Civil Procedure Code.

We see that in accordance with paragraphs. 1 item 2 art. 377 Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation appeal served in presidium the supreme court of the republic, the regional, regional court, the court of a federal city, the court of an autonomous region, the court of an autonomous district (i.e. in presidium of the court of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation).

Further, in accordance with paragraphs. 3 p. 2 art. 377 of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation, a cassation appeal can be filed with Judicial Collegium for Civil Cases of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation. Thus in Supreme Court A cassation appeal is filed against a decision of the presidium of a court of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation (i.e., a resolution adopted in cassation), or against decisions (decision and appeal ruling) of the courts of first and second instance, if they were appealed in cassation to the presidium courts of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation.

So it turns out that we have two cassation instances. First cassation - presidium the supreme court of the republic, the regional, regional court, the court of a federal city, the court of an autonomous region, the court of an autonomous district. Second cassation - Judicial collegium for civil cases of the Supreme Court Russian Federation.

How many copies of the cassation appeal and certified court decisions should I attach?

In accordance with Art. 378 Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation k cassation appeal copies of court decisions adopted in the case certified by the relevant court are attached.


By court rulings meaning decisions accepted by the court at first instance, and the court ruling made by the court of appeal. Certified copies of these orders must be obtained from the court of first instance. The trial court must certify and file the relevant orders.

Thus, in Art. 378 of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation, when it comes to a court decision, we mean a judicial act that ends the consideration of the case on the merits in the appropriate instance.

In accordance with Art. 378 of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation, a cassation appeal is filed according to the number of persons participating in the case.

In addition, if the court of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation accepted and considered the case in cassation (first cassation), the next level of appeal is the cassation instance in the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation (second cassation). Therefore, to the above court rulings courts of first and second instance, it is necessary to add a court decision issued by the cassation instance of the court of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation.

Samu cassation appeal must be submitted in quantity on the number of persons involved in the case. Certified copies of court orders accepted in the case must be submitted in one certified copy for the cassation court.

State duty when filing a cassation appeal

When filing a cassation appeal, a state fee must be paid. So Tax Code(Article 333.19) provides that when filing cassation appeal a state fee is payable in the amount of 50% of the amount of the state fee payable when filing a claim of a non-property nature. It is also provided that when filing a claim of a non-property nature for individuals a state duty of 300 rubles is provided for legal entities- in the amount of 6,000 rubles.

Accordingly, when submitting cassation appeal a state fee of 150 rubles is subject to payment. (current as of October 2016) for individuals and in the amount of 3,000 rubles for legal entities.

Grounds for canceling or changing a court decision in the cassation instance

Grounds for cancellation or changes court decisions in the cassation instance are provided for in Art. 387 Civil Code of the Russian Federation. According to this article grounds for canceling or changing a court decision is a significant violation of substantive or procedural law that influenced the outcome of the case and without eliminating which it is impossible to restore and protect violated rights, freedoms and legitimate interests.

Thus, it can be seen that there are not many grounds for satisfying the cassation appeal.

As a judicial decision of the Krasnodar Regional Court, which was issued at the stage of cassation consideration and which is being appealed to the Supreme Court in cassation (second cassation) in accordance with paragraphs. 3 p. 2 art. 377 Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation. When there is a result of the appeal, I will definitely write about it.

Cassation is the third and fourth instance in the judicial process of courts of general jurisdiction (the second is the appellate instance). An article on our website dedicated to the appellate instance will help you understand the difference between cassation and appeal in civil proceedings.

To explain the essence of cassation in civil proceedings, we will give examples of cassation courts. The claim was filed in the magistrate's court, and as a result of its consideration, a refusal was issued. The decision was appealed to the city court and the appellate ruling was left unchanged. The cassation authority in in this case will be high court subject (for example, Moscow regional court for the Moscow region and the city court of St. Petersburg for St. Petersburg).

You can also give an example when the application was initially submitted to the city court and the requirements were denied. The appeal ruling of the region's highest court left the decision unchanged. In this case, just as in the case of the initial filing of a claim in the magistrate’s court, the third instance will be the highest court of the subject, only with a different composition of judges in relation to the one considering the appeal.

Filing a cassation appeal

Where to start when you have in your hands the decision and determination of the courts of first and second instance? How to draw up and submit a cassation appeal?

First of all, it should be noted that the deadline for filing a cassation in civil proceedings is quite long and in most cases is six months from the date of the appeal ruling. The cassation appeal must indicate which decisions of previous instances are being appealed and the case numbers. It should also indicate which rules of law were applied incorrectly or were not applied at all, and for what reasons they are subject to application in this trial.

A cassation appeal should be submitted directly to the court that will consider it. As mentioned above, based on the result of consideration of the complaint, the judge alone makes a decision either to transfer the case for consideration or to refuse to transfer it for consideration. If the complaint is submitted to the board for consideration, the determination will indicate the date and time of the court hearing.

Features of the case consideration

It is worth considering that the cassation court does not re-evaluate the facts that were established by the first instance and the appeal. Therefore, it is recommended to refer specifically to the incorrect application of substantive and procedural legislation.

For example, the courts of the first and second instances, following a claim by the district administration for the demolition of an unauthorized building, found that plot of land there is an unauthorized construction. Under such circumstances, it will be unlikely to challenge the fact of erecting a structure on a land plot in cassation, but the rules of law on the basis of which the structure was recognized as unauthorized may be subjected to a new analysis. However, we should not forget that serious procedural violations could have led to an incorrect assessment of the facts, which can and should be referred to when appealing.

Second cassation in civil proceedings

It will be quite difficult to appeal the decision of the court of first instance, left unchanged by the appellate ruling, but it is still possible. The main problem when filing a cassation appeal is that 99% of them are not submitted to the panel of judges at all, since the judge, by his ruling, refuses to transfer the complaint to the cassation court for consideration, while giving a fairly brief reasoning.



It is important to know that refusal to transfer a case does not exhaust the rights to cassation appeal; a cassation appeal can consist of two parts. If the first one is refused, the second cassation in civil proceedings (exactly the same) is submitted to the Supreme Court. In this case, you must manage to meet the general six-month deadline established for a cassation appeal.

Having analyzed the concept of cassation in civil proceedings, in conclusion we once again emphasize that when preparing a cassation appeal, you should not simply duplicate statement of claim and an appeal, pointing out in detail the illegality of the actions of the defendant or plaintiff. The complaint must focus on the court's errors made when making a decision or appellate ruling.

We offer our quality

A cassation appeal is a procedural document that is drawn up by an interested party to the judicial process in order to verify the court's decision. By filing a cassation appeal, the right of cassation appeal is exercised, which arises for the persons participating in the case from the moment court decisions enter into legal force. Thus, filing a cassation appeal allows you to initiate a review by higher courts of the legality and validity of court decisions that have entered into legal force.

Grounds for filing a cassation appeal

The grounds for filing a cassation appeal are violations committed by the courts, in the opinion of the person filing such a complaint, when making decisions and decisions. In civil and administrative processes such grounds are significant violations of the norms of procedural law or norms of substantive law that influenced the outcome of the case (Article 387 of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation, Article 328 of the CAS of the Russian Federation). In the arbitration process, in addition to the already indicated significant violations of the norms of substantive law or norms of procedural law, the grounds for filing a cassation appeal also include the discrepancy between the court’s conclusions contained in the decision, resolution, and the factual circumstances of the case established by the arbitration court of the first and appellate instances, and those available in case evidence (part 1 of article 288 of the Arbitration Procedure Code of the Russian Federation). In criminal proceedings, the grounds for filing a cassation appeal are significant violations of the criminal and (or) criminal procedural law that influenced the outcome of the case, or the identification of data indicating a person’s non-compliance with the conditions and failure to fulfill obligations stipulated by the pre-trial cooperation agreement (Part 1 of Art. 401.15 Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation).

The procedure for filing a cassation appeal in a civil case

Chapter 41 of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation provides for the procedure for filing a cassation appeal, as well as the procedure for considering such complaints by the courts.

In accordance with Part 2 of Art. 376 of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation, an appeal to the cassation court to appeal court decisions that have entered into legal force is possible if other options have been exhausted established by law ways to appeal court decisions before the day they enter into legal force. This rule was also confirmed by Resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation dated December 11, 2012 N 29 “On the application by courts of the norms of civil procedural legislation governing proceedings in the cassation court” (clause 3).

The features of appealing court decisions in cassation in accordance with the norms of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation are as follows:

  • court decisions can be appealed within 6 months from the date of their entry into force (part 2 of article 376 of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation);
  • cassation appeals are filed directly with the cassation court (part 1 of article 377 of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation);
  • time frame for consideration of a cassation appeal: if the case is not requested, then the consideration period cannot exceed 1 month, and if the case is requested, this period is a maximum of 2 months, not counting the time from the day the case was requested until the day it was received by the cassation court (Part 1 Art. 382 of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation). If the court of cassation is the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, then the specified periods are increased by 1 month (Part 2 of Article 382 of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation);
  • persons participating in the case are notified of the time and place of consideration of the cassation appeal, presentation of the case, however, the failure of these persons to appear does not prevent their consideration (Part 2 of Article 385 of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation).

The cassation appeal must mandatory contain the following information: name of the court where the complaint is filed; the name of the person filing the complaint, his place of residence (location) and the procedural position in the case; the name of other persons participating in the case, their place of residence or location; Name judiciary who considered the case at the first, appellate or cassation instance and the substance of the decisions they made; an indication of the judicial act being appealed; indications of significant violations of substantive and/or procedural law that influenced the outcome of the case (with specific arguments to justify such violations); request of the person filing the cassation appeal (part 1 of article 378 of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation).

If a cassation appeal is filed by a person who did not take part in the case, it must also indicate what rights or legitimate interests of this person were violated by the court decision that entered into legal force.

The cassation appeal must be accompanied by: copies of court decisions adopted in the case, certified by the court; a document certifying the authority of the representative if the complaint is signed by the representative; a document confirming the payment of the state duty or the right to receive a benefit in the payment of the state duty, or a court order granting a deferment, payment by installments or a reduction in the amount of the state duty.

The cassation appeal is filed with copies, the number of which corresponds to the number of persons participating in the case.

Based on the results of studying the cassation appeal, the judge can make 2 types of rulings:

  • on the refusal to transfer the cassation appeal for consideration in court hearing cassation court (in the absence of grounds for reviewing the court decision);
  • on the transfer of the cassation appeal with the case for consideration at the court hearing of the cassation court (Part 2 of Article 381 of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation).

The cassation court, having considered the appeal with the case, has the right:

  • leave the decision of the court of the first, appellate or cassation instance unchanged, the cassation appeal, presentation without satisfaction;
  • cancel the decision of the court of first, appellate or cassation instance in whole or in part and send the case for a new trial to the appropriate court;
  • cancel the decision of the court of first, appellate or cassation instance in whole or in part and leave the application without consideration, or terminate the proceedings;
  • leave in force one of the court decisions taken in the case;
  • cancel or change the decision of the court of the first, appellate or cassation instance and adopt a new court decision, without transferring the case for a new trial, if an error was made in the application and (or) interpretation of substantive law;
  • leave a cassation appeal or presentation without consideration on the merits if there are grounds provided for in Art. 379.1 of this Code (that is, if there are grounds for returning the cassation appeal without consideration on the merits).

The grounds for leaving a cassation appeal without consideration on the merits are:

  • The cassation appeal or presentation does not meet the requirements imposed on them by the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation
  • a cassation appeal was filed by a person who does not have the right to do so;
  • the deadline for appealing a court decision in cassation has been missed and a court ruling on the restoration of such a period that has entered into legal force is not attached to the appeal or presentation;
  • a request has been received to withdraw or return the cassation appeal or presentation;
