Dmitry Magonya and Yaroslav Kulik participate in round-table meeting “All-Russia People’s Front as a Competition People’s Front: Taking the First Steps”

On 25 June, the round-table meeting “All-Russia People’s Front as a Competition People’s Front: Taking the First Steps” took place in conjunction with the All-Russia People’s Front as part of the annual Commercial Russia (Delovoi Rossii) forum that was dedicated to the issues facing the development of competition.

Mr. Magonya, a member of the International Association of Procedural Law, analysed international and Russian practice in resolving collective disputes and compensating for losses and damages. One of the most effective means of resolving this matter is the creation in Russia of an institute of class-action suits in order to protect consumer rights. Following the round-table discussion, the organisers announced an initiative to amend current legislation and the judicial system of the Russian Federation in order to protect consumers against violations on the part of monopolists or simply unprincipled companies.
