The author analyses the judgment of the Chamber for Civil Cases of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation of 18 October 2022 № 46-КГ22-31-K6 and concludes that the Chamber therein erroneously failed to take into account the existence of a contract of sale between the plaintiff and the defendant. The disputed contract is valid despite the fact that the seller’s representative concluded it only for the sake of appearances, without the intention to create a corresponding legal consequence. The article qualifies the representative’s action as an expression of will with a secret clause, which, contrary to the German BGB, has not been specifically regulated in Russian law.
