Anastasia Vasilenko | comments for the «Advokatskaya Gazeta»: The Supreme Court reminded of a ban on repeated participation of one and the same judge in the first and appeal instances

Lawyer of ART DE LEX law firm Anastasia Vasilenko in her comments to AG told us that parties seldom recourse to challenging judicial acts on such grounds as impartiality of the court. The reason, according to the expert, consists in a firm belief that success is highly improbable (at least, due to an established idea of a priori impartiality and for the reason of rules for consideration of judge rejection).

«Moreover, not unfrequently, courts when considering claims based on prior participation of the judge in consideration of the case (this is particularly so with regard to multi-stage and multicomponent «bankruptcy» cases), just make a formal reply and ignore the fact that the judge has already participated – in some form or other – in making decisions on the case», — added Anastasia Vasilenko.
