A web service allowing plaintiffs to file a lawsuit with any arbitration court in the country online opened this week, Vedomosti reported Tuesday, citing a Supreme Arbitration Court spokesman.
The service, located at My.arbitr.ru, requires the complainant to fill out several forms to file the lawsuit and allows up to 10 megabytes of relevant documents to be attached, the spokesman said.
Applications will be processed in two days, but further court proceedings will require additional paperwork, the report said. Still, the service will help complainants who are pressed for time, have to file a suit in a different region or want to avoid long lines, it said.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
