LYING OF A PARTY IN THE ARBITRATION COURT AS A PROCEDURAL LEGAL FACT

A.R. SULTANOV,
Head of the Legal Department, PJSC “Nizhnekamskneftekhim”,
Member of Association for Better Living and Education (ABLE)

The study puts forward the idea that the development of the principle of good faith in civil
law should seriously affect the arbitration process and should make it unprofitable to lie
in court. Among other things, we believe that it is possible to raise the question of using
the legislator’s approach without the culpable occurrence of negative consequences of false
assurances about circumstances in the conduct of entrepreneurial activity. The author also
argues that there should be no deception of the court, because any decision based on a lie
is not justice and is contrary to the rule of law. In a situation where deception does occur,
there must be a mechanism to rectify the situation and level out the consequences of the
deception. As a kind of substantiation of the above ideas, the author uses a reference to
the principle of direct examination of evidence, which is enshrined in Articles 10 and 71
of the APC RF and obligates the court to directly examine and perceive all evidence in the
case, including hearing explanations of persons involved in the case, testimony of witnesses,
expert opinions, review written evidence, examine the physical evidence. Compliance with
this principle guarantees the personal perception of the judges of the arbitration court of
all evidence, which is probably one of the most significant guarantees of justice.

Keywords: arbitration procedure; lies; legal facts; jurisprudence; bankruptcy; banks.
