Придание медиативным соглашениям силы исполнительного документа: Что привносит в гражданский оборот новое законодательство
From 25.10.2019 in Russia, there are new provisions of a number of laws aimed at improving mediation procedures. One of the key such provisions was the empowerment of notaries to certify mediated settlement agreements. Agreements reached by the parties as a result of the mediation procedure carried out without transferring the dispute to the court, in the case of its notarization, will then have the force of an enforcement document. Mediated settlement agreements are subject to notarization not in a mandatory manner, but at the request of the parties. The creation of a new legislative mechanism to give mediated settlement agreements the force of an enforcement document is, on the whole, a positive change in itself, but it is not entirely thought out and creates new serious risks. It is highly likely that this mechanism will be reviewed in the coming years.
