metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article analyzes the problems of sanctions restrictions and prohibitions and their influence
  on contractual obligations. Sanctions objectively and by their nature affect the economy as a
  whole and therefore influence on contracts concluded by private persons. However today the
  study of this issue is carried out mainly in the context of public law but not private law. In English
  law the problem of legislative restrictions and prohibitions and their influence on the dynamics
  of a contract has been analysed for more than a century in the context of the doctrine of frustration
  of purpose of contract. And English law provides the termination of the contract due to its
  frustration because of the imposed sanctions. The English courts carefully apply this approach
  and use it only when under the influence of legislative restrictions and prohibitions the very
  sense of contract changes. It can’t be applicable when just the motives of the party to enter
  into the contract are not realized. This allows, on the one hand, to protect the interested parties
  to the contract and on the other hand not to destabilize the civil circulation. In Russian law the
  article 451 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation is to decide the problem of the influence
  of sanctions on contractual obligations. However throughout all the time of existence of this
  rule Russian courts demonstrate a negative attitude towards it and don’t apply it when it is an
  adequate regulator of the relations of the parties. Today the Russian law enforcement practice
  allows the party of the contract only to be released from liability for violation of its obligation
  on the basis of paragraph 3 of art. 401 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation in the case
  when such breach occurred due to the enforcement of sanctions restrictions and prohibitions.
  At the same time, it is worth to mention that this approach of courts is not unambiguous: often
  courts refuse to recognize sanctions as a force majeure. And this doesn’t contribute to clarity
  to the law enforcement the practice of application the rules of paragraph 3 of frt. 401 of the Civil
  Code of the Russian Federation and protecting the parties to the contract from the influence of
  external circumstances that they can’t either control or prevent.
