THE SUPREME COURT INTENDS TO PROTECT DOMESTIC STRATEGIC ELECTRONICS

In the framework of the bankruptcy case (No. A68-6904/16), the courts considered the fate of the debtor's documentation on resistors used in the defense industry. During the consideration of the case, the documentation was requested from the debtor's shareholder, but was subsequently written off as having no economic value, and then the bankruptcy proceedings against the debtor were completed with the liquidation of the company.

One of the creditors appealed to the Court of Appeal against the ruling on the completion of the bankruptcy procedure, pointing out that the disputed documentation is of strategic value, and the applicant has the necessary permits and licenses for the production of resistors based on the documentation.

The courts of two instances rejected the appellant's arguments, referring to the fact that the complaint was received by the court after the registration authority made a record of the debtor's liquidation.

The Supreme Court of the Russian Federation referred the complaint to the judicial board, reflecting in the ruling the arguments of the cassator that, as a result of the termination of proceedings on his appeal, the question of the fate of strategically important documentation necessary for the production of the domestic electronic component base remained unresolved.
