The arbitration courts of the districts are also the courts of first instance for considering applications for awarding compensation for violation of the right to trial within a reasonable time in cases considered by arbitration courts, or for violation of the right to execution of judicial acts within a reasonable time issued by arbitration courts.

The District Court of Arbitration is composed of:

3. judicial collegium for the consideration of disputes arising from administrative legal relations.

In the subjects of the Russian Federation there are arbitration courts of first instance republics, territories, regions, federal cities, autonomous regions and autonomous districts.

In the territories of several constituent entities of the Russian Federation, judicial power may be exercised by one arbitration court. Judicial power in the territory of one subject of the Russian Federation may be exercised by several arbitration courts.

The composition of the arbitration court of the subject of the Russian Federation is represented by the presidium. In the arbitration court of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation, judicial chambers may also be formed to consider disputes arising from civil and other legal relations, and to consider disputes arising from administrative legal relations.

As part of the arbitration courts of the Russian Federation, other judicial chambers may also be formed to consider certain categories of cases, as well as permanent judicial presences located outside the place of permanent residence of the arbitration court of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation.

According to the Constitution of the Russian Federation and the Federal Constitutional Law “On Arbitration Courts in the Russian Federation”, arbitration courts are federal courts, the formation and regulation of which are within the jurisdiction of the Russian Federation (federal legislation) and whose competence includes consideration of economic disputes arising in the field of business and other economic activities, with the participation of legal entities, citizens - individual entrepreneurs, as well as the Russian Federation, a constituent entity of the Russian Federation, state bodies, local governments and citizens in cases provided for by law.

The system of arbitration courts, their organizational structure, and the general structure are determined by the Federal Constitutional Laws “On the Judicial System in the Russian Federation” and “On Arbitration Courts in the Russian Federation”, in accordance with which a four-level system of arbitration courts is currently in force:

  1. Arbitration courts of constituent entities of the Russian Federation (regions, republics, cities of federal significance - Moscow and St. Petersburg), which are courts of first instance.
  2. 20 courts of appeal, which are geographically located within the existing 10 federal arbitration (cassation) districts - 2 courts of appeal per 1 federal arbitration (cassation) district. In addition, at the courts of the first and appeal instances, in order to bring justice closer to the location or place of residence of the persons participating in the case, located or living in remote areas, as well as taking into account the number of cases under consideration, judicial presences can be created, which are separate divisions of the respective courts.
  3. 10 federal arbitration courts of districts, which are courts of cassation.
  4. The Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation, which is the court of first instance in cases determined by the APC and other federal laws, and the supervisory authority in relation to all lower arbitration courts (courts of first, appeal and cassation instances) when checking their judicial acts in the order of supervision.

All arbitration courts form a single system headed by the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation.

The Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation is the highest judicial body in the system of arbitration courts for resolving economic disputes and other cases subordinate to arbitration courts, and the highest judicial instance in relation to arbitration courts of the first, appeal and cassation instances, since it exercises supervision over their activities in the form established by the APC . In addition, the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation gives clarifications to arbitration courts on issues of judicial practice and the uniform application of legislation throughout the Russian Federation.

The federal arbitration courts of districts, as courts of cassation, are intended to verify the legality of judicial acts of the courts of appeal and first instance that have entered into legal force. In total, 10 federal districts were formed, which include several constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The district court checks in cassation the judicial acts of the arbitration courts of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation - the courts of first instance and two courts of appeal located on the territory of this federal district. The name of the federal arbitration courts of the districts is made according to the name of the district, fixed by law (for example, the Federal Arbitration Court of the Moscow District, the Federal Arbitration Court of the Central District).

Arbitration courts of the appellate instance are courts for checking the legality and reconsidering judicial acts of courts of first instance that have not entered into legal force. They check and review on appeal the judicial acts of the arbitration courts of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation - the courts of first instance, the list of which is legally assigned to each court of appeal. Geographically, the courts of appeal are located as follows: two courts of appeal per one federal arbitration (cassation) circuit. Each court of appeal has its own number (for example, the 19th court of appeal), the courts of appeal do not have names.

Arbitration courts of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation consider essentially economic disputes, in the first instance, the number of which corresponds to the number of constituent entities of the Russian Federation in accordance with the existing state administrative-territorial structure of Russia.

The composition of any arbitration court is understood as its internal structure - structure.

Thus, the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation acts as part of the Plenum of the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation; Presidium of the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation; the Judicial Collegium for the consideration of disputes arising from civil and other legal relations; Judicial Collegium for the consideration of disputes arising from administrative legal relations.

In order to prepare and process the materials of court cases, study the practice of applying legislation, and perform other functions of arbitration courts, an apparatus of an arbitration court is created, including departments and other divisions.

The Federal Arbitration Court of the District operates as part of the Presidium, judicial panels on disputes arising from civil and administrative legal relations. The presidium of the district court approves, on the proposal of the chairman of the court, members of the judicial panels and chairmen of the judicial panels of this court, decides other most important issues of organizing work and judicial practice.

Approximately in the same way, the internal structure of the arbitration courts of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation is determined, with the only difference being that in some courts with a small number of judges only panels of judges of this court can be formed, that is, without the formation of collegiums.

Each arbitration court consists of the chairman, his deputies or deputy, judges and employees of the court apparatus.

Issues of the internal activities of arbitration courts and their mutual relations, including issues related to the formation of judicial panels and panels of judges, are regulated in the Rules of Arbitration Courts, approved by the decision of the Plenum of the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation.

According to Article 128 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, all judges of the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation are appointed by the Federation Council on the proposal of the President of the Russian Federation, and judges of other arbitration courts - by the President of the Russian Federation in the manner established by the Federal Law "On the Status of Judges in the Russian Federation".
