The article examines the evolution of the positions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian
Federation regarding the institution of indexing of awarded sums of money in civil
and commercial procedure. The author comes to the conclusion that the norms on indexation
in the Commercial procedural code of the Russian Federation and Civil procedural
code of the Russian Federation require reform, taking into account the legal positions of
the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation in decisions No. 35-P of 23 July 2018
and No. 1-P of January 12, 2021, related to civil procedure, as well as in decision No. 40-P
of 22 July 2021 related to the commercial procedure. In addition, the author assesses the
prospects of applying the legal position of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation
on the issue of indexation in the commercial procedure as a basis for reviewing judicial
acts because of new circumstance. Сurrent regulation is criticized, according to which
the basis for revision as a rule is only the recognition by the Constitutional Court of the
Russian Federation of the law applied in a particular case, in connection with the decision
on which the applicant appealed to the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation,
which does not comply with the Constitution of the Russian Federation. The conditions
of retroactive effect of the decisions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation
in relation to judicial acts in connection with which the interested person did not apply
to the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation or whose complaint was refused by
the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation are revealed.
Keywords: commercial procedure; indexing of awarded sums of money; decisions of
the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation; revision of judicial acts under new
circumstances.
