In the article, the author continues to distinguish between the civil-legal set-off and the
set-off made when the court satisfies the counterclaim and initial claims. As a criterion,
recognition is taken as an act of will, coming respectively from the compensator (the person
to whom the statement of set-off is addressed) and the defendant in the counterclaim.
Judicial and non-judicial confessions are analyzed. With regard to judicial recognition,
the conclusion is justified that, depending on the type of process and the existence of rules
on mandatory professional judicial representation, it will be either ordinary evidence
or a basis for exemption from proof, and in some cases also entail certain substantive
consequences. Individual cases of so-called qualified recognition are considered (discrepancy
in quantitative characteristics; discrepancy in relation to the subject or object of the legal
relationship; recognition of another legal relationship; notification to the court of two or
more facts, some of which correspond to the interests of the procedural opponent, and
the other part – to the interests of the recognizer; discrepancy in the qualification of legal
consequences; recognition of the fact of termination of claims with the reservation that
they were subsequently restored on the basis of the realized secondary right).

Keywords: civil set-off; set-off made when the court satisfies the counterclaim and initial
claims; judicial recognition; out-of-court recognition; qualified recognition.
