  Article 327 and of Article 328 of this  Code, establishing the mechanism for the exercise of the right to 
file appeals against decisions of the justices of th e peace and the powers of the appeals instance court

recognized the provision of the first part of Artic le 284 of the present Code stipulating that the 
individual in relation to whom the case of his r ecognition as incompetent is considered shall be 
summoned to the court sitting, if the condition of his health makes it possible, as conflicting with the 
Constitution of the Russian Federation to the degree to  which this provision - in the meaning attached 
to it by the existing law-application practice - allows  the court to adopt the decision on the individual's 
recognition as incompetent solely on the basis of th e opinion of forensic-psychiatric examination, 
without an opportunity offered to the individual, unless his presence at the court sitting creates threat to his life or health or to the life or health of the people around him, to set forth his position to the 
court in person or via the representatives chosen by  him on his own, and also in association with 
provisions of the fifth part of Article 37, the first part of Article 52, Item 3 of the first part of 
Article 135, and of Item 2 of the first part of Artic le 379.1 of the present Code to the degree to which 
these provisions make it impossible for the individu al, recognized as incompetent by the court, to 
appeal against the court decision in cassational and supervisory procedure, if the court of the first 
instance did not provide to this individual the opportunity to set forth his position in person or via the 
representatives chosen by him on his own, with account of the fact that his presence at the court 
sitting was not recognized as dangerous for his life or health or for the life or health of the people 
around him.  According to the Decision of the Constitutiona l Court of the Russian Federation No. 13-P of 
July 18, 2003 the rule, contained in  interrelated Item 2 of Part One of Article 26, Parts One, Two and 
Four of Article 251, Parts Two and Three of Artic le 253 of this Code, which empowers a court of 
general jurisdiction to resolve cases on disputing c onstitutions and statutes of  the subjects of the 
Russian Federation, and the rule, contained in interre lated Item 2 of Article 1 and Item 2 of Article 21 
and Item 2 of Article 22 of the Federal Law on the Public Prosecutor's Office of the Russian 
Federation, Item 2 of Part One of Article 26 an d Part One of Article 251 of this Code, which 
empowers a prosecutor to apply to a court of gene ral jurisdiction for declaring the provisions of 
constitutions and statutes as contrary to federal laws  shall be declared as not complying with the 
Constitution of the Russian Federation.  According to the Decision of the Constitutiona l Court of the Russian Federation No. 10-P of 
July 12, 2007, Paragraph Three of Part One of Artic le 446 of the Civil Procedural Code of the Russian 
Federation is acknowledged as not corresponding to th e Constitution of the Russian Federation in that 
Part, in which it puts a prohibition on conversion of  penalty on executive documents on the land lots, 
belonging to the debtor-citizen according to the law of property, and whose use is not connected with 
the performance by the debtor-citizen of a business activity and which are not the main source of 
existence or maintenance of an ad equate level of existence of his own and of persons dependent on 
him.

of the sentence in the part of a civil claim, in  the cases when the preliminary investigation of a 
criminal case was suspended in connection with th e fact that the suspect or the accused has escaped 
from the investigation.  
According to the Decision of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation No. 9-P of 
July 16, 2008 the interconnected provisions of Sub- item c) of Item 1 of the second part and of the 
fourth part of Article 82 of this Code, stipulating that the real evidence in the form of articles, which 
because of their bulkiness or for other reasons cannot be kept by the criminal file, including large lots 
of commodities, whose storage is difficult or the outlays on ensuring special conditions for whose 
storage are commensurate with th eir cost, shall be handed over fo r realization on the ground of the 
decision of the inquirer, investigator or judge, are recognized as not corresponding to the Constitution 
of the Russian Federation, since these legal provi sions permit depriving the owner or the lawful 
possessor of his property, recognized as the real evid ence, without the sentence that has come into 
legal force, by which the issue about this property is decided, and - if the dispute about the right to the 
property, which is the real evidence, is subject to resolution by way of civil court proceedings - before 
the enforcement of the corresponding court decision.

responsibility for the contraband, committed by 
shifting across the customs border of the Russian Federation the undeclared or the unauthentically declared foreign currency and (or) the currency of the Russian Federation in a large amount, that is, 
that exceeding the equivalent of 250,000 roubles,
