Compensatory Proceedings: Problems of Legal Regulation and Application

The institute of compensatory mechanisms, introduced in 2020 in constitutional proceedings, aims to compensate the applicant for complaints to the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation for the negative consequences of violation of his rights by the use of a normative legal act recognized as unconstitutional or inconsistent with the Constitution of the Russian Federation in the interpretation given by the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation. This legal institution is quite actively used by the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation. However, attempts to implement it by applicants face a number of difficulties due to both the lack of legal regulation of peculiarities of the procedure for considering cases on the application of compensatory mechanisms to applicants and incorrect understanding by the courts and applicants of the legal nature of the institution of compensatory mechanisms. The paper analyzes the actual need and considers the prerequisites for the legal regulation of summary proceedings as a special type of proceedings in courts of general jurisdiction and arbitrazh courts, which has a pronounced public character and significantly differs from the claim proceedings by the mechanism for considering the case. The author raises procedural problems when the courts consider cases in summary proceedings and proposes ways to resolve them.
