Практика применения ст. 179 ГК РФ: угроза, обман, кабальность
The authors analyze the practical application of Art. 179 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation and conclude that transactions are rarely disputed on the grounds established in the article. Courts very rarely satisfy claims to annul transactions on the first (threat) and third (oppression) grounds; the second ground (deceit) is frequently used in case of active and passive deceit, which is not the case for deceit by a third party. For this category of disputes, it is important to have a criminal sentence passed by the court, since it has prejudicial significance in the civil dispute. However, in case of such interaction between civil and criminal laws, courts do not consistently determine when the limitation period starts to run, and in this connection it would be useful for the Supreme Court to develop a definitive position on this matter.
