The paper presents a research of the new legal regulation for such an institute in relation
to a regional and equal court, as the referral of a case received in accordance with part
4 of Article 39 of the Arbitration Procedure Code of the Russian Federation to a court of
general jurisdiction, which is in jurisdiction to hear a case as it is assigned by law. The
absence of procedural legal regulation of this action, which is, in author’s opinion, has an
obvious procedural nature, and researched practice general jurisdiction courts demonstrate
the uncertainty in implementation of the considered reform. The author analyzes the new
procedural institution on the basis of his own vision of a number of procedural norms, as
well as scholar works and historical experience. In particular, the author reasoning that
the courts are to issue special rulings on the referral of cases received from arbitration
to the courts of general jurisdiction. Moreover, the author considers the mechanism for
adopting such a judicial act. The article presents a wide range of practical examples of the
implementation of considered provision, as well as the difference in the approaches of the
appellate courts to assess these implementation practice. In conclusion, the article presents
the proposals for further improvement of the regulation of considered issue. Most likely
such an improvement will be impossible without the universal approach established by the
Supreme Court of the Russian Federation. Such improvements should result in uniform
judicial practice, as well as further developments of procedural legislation.

Keywords: jurisdiction; direction of the case by jurisdiction; competence; courts of general
jurisdiction; arbitration courts; disputes about jurisdiction; judge’s powers; effectiveness
of judicial protection.
