Аннотация:Control of price-related terms in either standard form contracts or B2C contracts has hardly become topical in Russia. This is true for legislature and judiciary as well as for academia.
Apart from price regulation for carriage by rail, energy supply, public utility services, compulsory automobile liability insurance, etc. as well as a general prohibition against setting different prices for different customers of the same category in contracts having particular social significance (‘public contracts’), regulatory interventions providing for such control are rare, and they do not seem to be based on a clear and coherent general model or idea.
The courts remain reluctant so far to police price-related terms even though the Russian law provides for an array of tools that might be used for this purpose.
The only domain in which control of price-related terms has gained careful attention from the legislature and judiciary is consumer credit.
