Exercise.

In August 2005, the Oryol branch of VimpelCom OJSC received a claim from the head of the Komov family, Igor Anatolyevich Komov, which outlined the following situation: The Komov family has a home telephone number 753030 installed in their apartment, which Beeline indicated in one of the issues of Beeline World, in the magazine “Mobile Territories”, and in the magazine “Sweetie” as its reference and information telephone number. For three months, Beeline subscribers called this home number around the clock on various issues: from blocking a number to checking the account balance. This caused and continues to cause anxiety and moral suffering to the entire Komov family; due to the current situation, the head of the family, Igor Anatolyevich Komov, who is a disabled person of the third group, suffered a hypertensive crisis. I.A. Komov asked to look into this situation and pay each of the four family members moral damages.

In his response to the claim, the director of the Oryol branch of VimpelCom OJSC assured that the company would look into the current situation, but noted that the amount of compensation for moral damage and other issues related to this can only be resolved by the court and suggested that the Komov family go to court on this matter. Oral negotiations, in which the director offered a card to top up an account for $100 and, as an alternative means of communication, a cell phone worth 3,000 rubles, did not lead to a positive result. The Komov family, believing that in this case their constitutional right to privacy was violated and indirectly caused harm to their health, decided to go to court for compensation for moral damage.

Draw up a statement of claim to the court on behalf of the Komovs: I.A. Komova, V.I. Komova and their two sons Oleg and Artem, one of whom is a minor.

Draw up objections to the claims on behalf of the Oryol branch of OJSC VimpelCom.

    Judge N.I. Ensky, having listened carefully to the plaintiff’s petition, stated at the court hearing that he was an experienced judge and had heard several dozen similar cases over the past two years. It is not difficult for him to understand this matter and make the right decision.

    The trial was continued, the trial was conducted by one judge. As a result of the trial, a decision was made that denied the plaintiff's claim.

    In the cassation appeal, the plaintiff pointed out a number of violations of the law, including the refusal of his request for a collegial resolution of the case.

    How do you assess this motive for the cassation appeal?

    Task No. 9.

    An agricultural enterprise - a poultry farm, which has the organizational and legal form of a closed joint stock company, filed claims in court against R.S. Ivanova, who works as a warehouse manager for agricultural products, to recover the cost of 20 tons of grain - a shortage established by the audit commission.

    In support of the claims, the plaintiff agreed that Ivanova R.S. gave a written obligation to repay the shortfall in equal installments within six months after its discovery, but did not fulfill the obligation.

    At the court hearing, the plaintiff's representative submitted to the court a written petition signed by the general director of the poultry farm to terminate the proceedings in connection with the abandonment of the claim, since by the decision of the supervisory board of the joint-stock company Ivanova R.S. decided to forgive her for her good performance at work.

    The judge issued a ruling to refuse the petition, citing the fact that the supervisory board of the joint-stock company and the general director encourage actions related to grain theft and violation of the law.

    Problem 10.

    Lapteva filed a lawsuit against Samsonov to recognize ownership of part of the house.

    Problem 11.

    Petrov, who lives in Oryol, entered into a car purchase and sale agreement with an automobile plant in Tolyatti.

Petrov issued a power of attorney to file a claim and conduct the case to his friend Korenev, who lives in Tolyatti. The judge refused to accept the statement of claim, citing the fact that Korenev is not a lawyer.

    Did the judge do the right thing? Who has the right to represent the interests of citizens in court? Who cannot be a representative in court?

    Did the judge do the right thing?

    Could Malakhov represent the interests of the enterprise?

    Problem 18.

    Kuzmin A. and Kuzmina V. filed a lawsuit against OJSC Orelvtotrans and Grushin P. for compensation for material damage and compensation for moral damage, citing the fact that on December 10, 2005, as a result of a collision with a KAMAZ vehicle owned by OJSC Orelvtotrans , under the control of Petrov V. and a VAZ-2109 car driven by Grushin, their son Kuzmin R., who was driving in a VAZ-2109 car, died. The plaintiffs asked to recover material damage in the amount of 20,000 rubles spent on burial, and to compensate for moral damage in the amount of 50,000 rubles each. in favor of each of the plaintiffs.

In addition, as evidence, the plaintiff presented a tape recording in which the defendant congratulates Kronova on the birth of a child, whom he calls him: “Son.”

    The defendant objected to the claim, citing the fact that he knew the plaintiff through work and had never been in a close relationship with her.

    Determine the subject of proof in the case. How are the burdens of proof distributed between the parties? What are evidentiary presumptions and are they present in this situation? What are the rules for applying the presumption of paternity? Does the court have the right to accept and examine a tape recording as evidence?

    Exercise.

    In August 2005, the Oryol branch of VimpelCom OJSC received a claim from the head of the Komov family, Igor Anatolyevich Komov, which outlined the following situation: The Komov family has a home telephone number 753030 installed in their apartment, which Beeline indicated in one of the issues of Beeline World, in the magazine “Mobile Territories”, and in the magazine “Sweetie” as its reference and information telephone number. For three months, Beeline subscribers called this home number around the clock on various issues: from blocking a number to checking the account balance. This caused and continues to cause anxiety and moral suffering to the entire Komov family; due to the current situation, the head of the family, Igor Anatolyevich Komov, who is a disabled person of the third group, suffered a hypertensive crisis. I.A. Komov asked to look into this situation and pay each of the four family members moral damages.

    In his response to the claim, the director of the Oryol branch of VimpelCom OJSC assured that the company would look into the current situation, but noted that the amount of compensation for moral damage and other issues related to this can only be resolved by the court and suggested that the Komov family go to court on this matter. Oral negotiations, in which the director offered a card to top up an account for $100 and, as an alternative means of communication, a cell phone worth 3,000 rubles, did not lead to a positive result. The Komov family, believing that in this case their constitutional right to privacy was violated and indirectly caused harm to their health, decided to go to court for compensation for moral damage.

    Proceedings in the court of first instance


    Legal regulation of the general procedure for preparing for a court hearing has as its task the implementation of all necessary preparatory actions for conducting a trial in full compliance with the requirements of the criminal procedure law. At this stage, a case received by the prosecutor with an indictment or indictment is considered in court.

    In preparation for a court hearing, the judge examines the criminal case received by the court and single-handedly establishes the presence or absence of factual data and legal grounds for deciding whether to include the case in the court session for its subsequent trial. The judge's study of the written materials of the case is aimed at clarifying compliance with the legality of investigative actions during the inquiry and preliminary investigation and the state of preparedness of the case materials for their consideration at the court hearing.

    Performing one of the functions of the stage of preparation for consideration of a case in court as a form of direct judicial control over the compliance of the actions of the bodies of inquiry and preliminary investigation with the requirements of the law is to establish compliance by officials of these bodies with all duties in sending the case to court, ensuring the procedural rights of participants in criminal proceedings, removing obstacles to the consideration of the case in court. The solution to these problems is, in particular, clarification by the judge in relation to each of the accused of the circumstances named in Art. 228 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation and concerning the preparedness of the case for its consideration by the court.

    It should be noted that in the preparation stage for the court hearing, first of all, the main issues of the further movement of the criminal case are resolved: on the direction of the criminal case according to jurisdiction; to schedule a preliminary hearing; about scheduling a court hearing. This list is exhaustive in determining the range of powers of a judge exercised by him at a given stage of legal proceedings.

    It is logical that one of the first decisions made by the judge after studying the case materials is the possibility of sending the case to jurisdiction. The law does not allow disputes about jurisdiction (Article 36 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation). The decision to send a criminal case by a judge according to jurisdiction involves establishing, in the process of preparing for the court hearing, the correctness of determining at the pre-trial stage of the proceedings the characteristics of a specific criminal case and the court competent to consider it. The rules on jurisdiction set out in the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation (Articles 31 - 33) are aimed at ensuring a quick, complete and objective consideration of the case. When resolving issues of preparation for a court hearing, the judge must evaluate the correctness of the actions of the criminal prosecution authorities when sending the case to court. A change in the territorial jurisdiction of a case must comply with the grounds established by law (Article 35 of the Code of Criminal Procedure).

    Having established that the received criminal case is not within the jurisdiction of this court, the judge is obliged to make a decision on the referral of this criminal case to jurisdiction (see Appendix 17 to Article 477 of the Code of Criminal Procedure). An exception to this rule is the establishment of non-jurisdiction of a case after its consideration has begun. Having established that a criminal case in his proceedings is under the jurisdiction of another court of the same level, the judge has the right, in order to speed up the consideration of the case, with the consent of the defendant, to leave this case in his proceedings. However, if the case has jurisdiction over a higher court or a military court, it is certainly subject to referral to the appropriate court.

    If there are grounds that represent a possible obstacle to the trial, set out in Art. 229 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, the judge decides to schedule a preliminary hearing. If there are no obstacles to the subsequent consideration of the criminal case and the correct determination of its jurisdiction, the judge decides to schedule a court hearing. The named types of decisions of the judge are formalized by decisions, which indicate: the date and place of the decision; the official name of the court, the surname and initials of the judge who made this decision, as well as the grounds for the decision, indicating the specific circumstances of the case.

    According to the general rule, a decision on a criminal case received by the court must be made no later than 30 days from the date of its receipt. However, if a criminal case is brought to court against an accused person in custody, the judge is obliged to make a decision no later than 14 days from the date of receipt of this criminal case by the court. If the court receives a request from a party for additional familiarization with the materials of a criminal case pending in court, the judge has the right to provide her with such an opportunity (Article 227 of the Code of Criminal Procedure).

    Copies of the judge's decision are sent to the accused, the victim and the prosecutor in order to inform them about the progress of the case.

    The law obliges the judge, when preparing for a court hearing, to find out the following circumstances regarding the criminal case received by the court in relation to each of the accused: 1) whether the criminal case is within the jurisdiction of this court; 2) whether he was given copies of the indictment or indictment; 3) whether the preventive measure chosen for the accused is subject to cancellation or change; 4) whether the submitted requests and complaints are subject to satisfaction; 5) whether measures have been taken to ensure compensation for damage caused by the crime and possible confiscation of property; 6) whether there are grounds for holding a preliminary hearing.

    These questions are interrelated and can be divided into two groups:

    1) dedicated to ascertaining compliance with the law by criminal prosecution authorities in the pre-trial stages of criminal proceedings;

    2) related to ensuring the rights of participants in the process and the further direction of the case.

    The first of these is to establish the correctness of the resolution by the specified authorities of the issue of jurisdiction of a given criminal case. Establishing that a given court does not have jurisdiction over a case entails sending it to another court in the manner prescribed by the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation (Articles 31 - 35).

    The criminal procedure law determines the grounds upon which the territorial jurisdiction of a criminal case can be changed. This change may take place: at the request of a party - if the challenge filed by it is satisfied by the entire composition of the relevant court; at the request of a party or at the initiative of the chairman of the court to which the criminal case was received, in cases where all the judges of this court previously took part in the proceedings in the criminal case under consideration, which is the basis for their challenge, and also if not all participants in the criminal proceedings in this case reside in the territory over which the jurisdiction of this court extends, and all defendants agree to change the territorial jurisdiction of this criminal case. Changing the territorial jurisdiction of a criminal case is permissible only before the start of the trial, and therefore the question of the jurisdiction of the case when the above circumstances are discovered is resolved at the stage of preparation for the trial.

    It is also necessary to take into account the fact that the law does not allow disputes about jurisdiction. This means that any criminal case transferred from one court to another, in the manner prescribed by Art. 34 and Art. 35 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation, is subject to unconditional acceptance for proceedings by the court to which it was transferred.

    After a positive decision on the issue of jurisdiction, the court determines the implementation of procedural actions provided for by law, ensuring compliance with the right to defense and the unhindered conduct of the trial (in particular, compliance with the form of the indictment or indictment established by law, their delivery to the accused and the defense lawyer). Unlike the Code of Criminal Procedure of the RSFSR of 1960, the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation imposes the obligation to serve a copy of the indictment or indictment not on the court, but on the prosecutor. According to Art. 222 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation, the accused is given a copy of the indictment with attachments. Copies of the indictment are also handed over to the defendant’s defense attorney and the victim, if they request it.

    A separate group of issues is the decision to cancel or change the selected preventive measure (clause 3 of Article 228 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation).

    In accordance with the procedural law, filing a petition to select detention as a preventive measure or to extend the period of detention, if there are grounds established by law, is the responsibility of the prosecutor at any stage of criminal proceedings, which does not exclude the right of the court if such a question arises at the judicial stages, consider it on your own initiative. In order to protect the rights and legitimate interests of participants in criminal proceedings and the proper conduct of the trial within a reasonable time, the court, including on its own initiative, is obliged to check the validity of the use of interim measures, including a preventive measure in the form of detention, and also ensures timely consideration of the issue on the extension of detention until the expiration of the period established by the previous court decision.

    When deciding on its own initiative the issue of choosing a preventive measure in the form of detention or extending the period of detention, the court is not relieved of the obligation to listen to the opinions of the parties, and the parties cannot be deprived of the opportunity to present their arguments.

    The judge studies and evaluates the validity and expediency of the entire range of issues related to the use of coercive measures applied in the stages of pre-trial proceedings in a criminal case: the grounds for election, the choice of a preventive measure, the presence or absence of an extension of the period of detention. The exclusivity of the powers of the court lies here in the fact that the preventive measure chosen on the basis of a court decision can be canceled or changed only by the court. At the same time, the court does not assume the functions of the prosecution, since the legal and factual grounds for choosing this preventive measure are not related to supporting the prosecution, but to the need to ensure conditions for further proceedings in the criminal case.

    Acid-base properties. The acidity of phenols is much higher (by 5-6 orders of magnitude) than the acidity of alcohols. This is determined by two factors: the greater polarity of the O-H bond due to the fact that the lone electron pair of the oxygen atom is involved in conjugation with the benzene ring (the hydroxyl group is a strong donor by the +M effect), and significant stabilization of the resulting phenolate ion due to delocalization of the negative charge with the participation of the aromatic system:

    Unlike alkanols, phenols, when exposed to alkalis, form salts - phenolates, soluble in aqueous solutions of alkalis (pH > 12). However, phenols are poorly soluble in aqueous solutions of alkali metal bicarbonates (pH = 8), since under these conditions the phenolates undergo complete hydrolysis.

    The basic properties of phenol are much less pronounced (by 4-5 orders of magnitude) than those of alcohols. This is due to the fact that the conjugation of the lone electron pair of the oxygen atom with the π-electrons of the benzene ring in the resulting cation is broken:

    Acylation. Esterification with carboxylic acids in the presence of H2SO4, which is characteristic of alcohols, is slow in the case of phenol due to the low nucleophilicity of its oxygen center. Therefore, to obtain phenol esters, stronger electrophiles are used - acid chlorides RC0C1 or anhydrides [(RCO) 2 0] of carboxylic acids under anhydrous conditions:


    Alkylation of phenol. The nucleophilicity of the oxygen center in phenolates is significantly higher than in phenol. Thus, when treating sodium phenolate with alkyl halides, phenol ethers are formed:

    All reactions of phenols considered occur through the O-H bond. Reactions with the cleavage of the C-O bond in phenols, i.e., reactions of substitution of the hydroxyl group in phenol, do not occur in the body.

    Redox properties. Phenol easily oxidizes in air, causing its white crystals to quickly turn pink. The composition of the resulting products has not been precisely established.

    Phenols have a characteristic color reaction with FeCl3 in aqueous solutions, producing a red-violet color that disappears after the addition of a strong acid or alcohol. It is assumed that the intense color is associated with the formation of a complex compound containing a phenolate anion in the internal sphere:

    In this complex, of all the ligands, the phenolate anion is the most active nucleophile and reducing agent. It is capable of transferring one electron to an electrophile and an oxidizing agent - an iron(3) cation - with the formation in the internal sphere of a radical ion system containing a phenoxyl radical (C6H5O*), which leads to the appearance of intense color:

    A similar formation of radicals in the internal sphere of a complex compound due to the internal redox process can also occur in the substrate-enzyme complexes of the body. In this case, the radical particle can either remain bound in the internal sphere or become free when leaving this sphere.

    The considered reaction with FeCl3 indicates the ease of oxidation of phenol, especially its anion. Polyhydric phenols are oxidized even more easily. Thus, hydroquinone (especially its dianion) is easily oxidized due to carbon atoms to 1,4-benzoquinone:

    Hydroquinone is used in photography because it... reduces AgBr in a photographic emulsion in exposed areas faster than in unexposed areas.

    Compounds containing a 1,4-quinoid group are called quinones. Quinones are typical oxidizing agents that form an equilibrium conjugated redox couple with the corresponding hydroquinones (Section 9.1). Such a pair in coenzyme Q is involved in the process of substrate oxidation due to dehydrogenation (Section 9.3.3) and the transfer of electrons along the electron transport chain from the oxidized substrate to oxygen (Section 9.3.4). Vitamins of group K, containing a naphthoquinone group, ensure blood clotting in air.

    Electrophilic substitution on the benzene ring. Due to the electron-donating effect of the hydroxyl group, phenol undergoes electrophilic substitution reactions much more easily than benzene. The hydroxyl group orients the attack of the electrophile at the o- and n-positions. For example, phenol decolorizes bromine water at room temperature to form 2,4,6-tribromophenol:


    The activity of phenol in electrophilic substitution reactions is so great that it even reacts with aldehydes. This polycondensation reaction underlies the production of various phenol-formaldehyde resins widely used in industry. When polycondensation is carried out in an acidic environment, bakelite polymers, and in an alkaline environment, where the reaction goes deeper due to the high activity of the phenolate anion, - resol polymers:

    The most important representatives of alcohols and their practical significance. Alkanols are physiologically active substances with narcotic effects. This effect increases with branching and elongation of the carbon chain, passing through a maximum at C6-C8, as well as during the transition from primary to secondary alcohols. The products of the transformation of alcohols in the body can cause their toxic effects.

    Methanol CH 3 OH is a strong poison, as it is oxidized in the digestive tract into formaldehyde and formic acid. Already in small doses (10 ml) it can cause blindness.

    Ethanol C2H5OH, commonly called simply alcohol. The use of ethanol (alcoholic beverages) initially has a stimulating and then depressive effect on the central nervous system, dulls sensitivity, weakens the function of the brain and muscular system, and worsens reactions. Its prolonged and excessive use leads to alcoholism. The mechanism of action of ethanol on the body is extremely complex and has not yet been fully elucidated. However, an important step in its transformation in the body is the formation of acetaldehyde, which easily reacts with many important metabolites.

    Ethylene glycol HOCH2CH2OH is a strong poison, since the products of its transformation in the body are oxalic acid and other equally toxic compounds. It has an alcoholic odor, and therefore can be mistaken for ethanol and cause severe intoxication. It is used in technology as a deicer and for the preparation of antifreeze - liquids with a low freezing point, used to cool engines in winter.

    Glycerol HOCH 2 CH(OH)CH 2 OH is a non-toxic, viscous, colorless liquid with a sweet taste. It is part of most saponified lipids: animal and vegetable fats, as well as phospholipids. It is used for the production of glycerol trinitrate, as a softener in the textile and leather industries and as an integral part of cosmetic preparations for skin softening.

    Biologically active alcohols are many metabolites belonging to different classes of organic compounds: menthol - terpene class; xylitol, sorbitol, mesoinositol-polyhydric alcohols; cholesterol, estradiol - steroids.
