Current Issues of the Application of Penalties in the Field of Construction (Architectural, Survey) Organizations

In the article, the authors consider the issues of the application of penalties in the field of construction (architectural, survey) organizations. The economic activity of construction (architectural, survey) organizations quite often leads to disputes based on the fact of violation of deadlines. As a rule, with such a violation, the contractor undergoes a negative consequence, expressed in the need to pay a fine. At the same time, it is possible that the customer will claim a fine from the contractor that is disproportionate to the violation committed. However, at present, the legislation that regulates issues related to the possibility of reducing penalties (fines) is not without some drawbacks. Thus, the legislator does not fix the term “non-proportionality of the penalty (fine)”, and therefore it seems necessary to include this definition in the Civil Code of the Russian Federation as paragraph 1.1 to art. 333. In addition, the courts currently have an ambiguous approach to resolving the issue of the possibility of reducing the size of the fine for construction (architectural, survey) organizations for noncompliance with deadlines set by law, and not by contract. The authors consider it advisable to clarify in paragraph 1 of Article 333 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation that any type of fine can be reduced.
