A number of Russian media inform that the Supreme Arbitration Court of Russia submitted to the State Duma a draft law that extends the possibilities for mediation procedures, and even offers to introduce the institute of judicial mediators. According to the draft, the judges participating in the court procedure shall remind the plaintiff and the defendant about the possibility of conciliation procedures, while taking the action. The parties to the case, who shall decide to accomplish the case in peace, will receive a substantial discount for payment of state duties. Thus the peace agreement in court shall be a profitable matter. According to the draft the retired judges, assistants to the judges not taking part in the consideration of the case, employees of the court which have a law degree may serve as judicial mediators. The draft especially emphasizes the fact that the judicial mediators involved in the process shall act in compliance to the requirements of provisions of the “Status of Judges in the Russian Federation” and the “Law on Public Service”. Financial incentives are offered as well. In case of conclusion of the settlement agreement, the plaintiff’s rejection of a claim, the recognition of a claim by the defendant, including those achieved in result of the conciliation procedure in the first instance court, 70 percent of the state duties paid by them are returned to them.
