Jurisdiction over Cases Involving Violations of Foreign Investment Laws

This paper examines the jurisdictional issues surrounding cases involving violations of foreign investment laws in strategic sectors of the economy. Based on an analysis of legal regulations and judicial practice, it concludes that various approaches to determining jurisdiction and territorial competence in such cases are currently being applied. Unpredictability and lack of uniformity in the application of procedural rules lead to legal uncertainty and instability in legal protection mechanisms. The formulation of uniform and clear rules for the distribution of jurisdiction and competence for this category of disputes by the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation will help resolve these existing problems.
