Not satisfied with the court decision? Lost an appeal, but the decision or sentence in a criminal case entered into legal force? It’s too early to despair; legislation provides another chance to defend rights and interests legally. Filing a cassation appeal is an effective legal mechanism that allows you to protect the interests of the applicant, prevent violation of rights, and compensate for harm caused during the execution of the decision. By law, you have exactly six months to prepare and submit an appeal against the decision of a court of general jurisdiction. For cases considered in arbitration, the period is much shorter - 2 months. You can begin drafting and filing a cassation appeal after the appeal ruling has been adopted and the court decision has entered into legal force.
Experts recommend not to delay the preparation of the cassation, because the long period for filing a complaint is deceptive. It is possible that difficulties will arise at the drafting stage, which will delay the process of making a fair decision.

When can an appeal order or judgment be overturned?
It is important to understand that, unlike an appeal, cassation does not take into account newly discovered circumstances, witness testimony, or evidence in the case. As part of the consideration of the complaint, violations of procedural norms are identified, which is the reason for revising the appeal decision or canceling the court decision. A cassation appeal must be filed if during the consideration of the case the following norms are violated:
- Legislative norms in the field of protection of material rights have not been applied or have been erroneously applied;
- Legislative provisions are misinterpreted;
- There is no record of the court hearing in the case;
- The case was considered by the court with an improper or unlawful composition;
- The rule on the secrecy of court conferences was violated;
- The process took place in the absence of one of the required participants;
- The absent participants were not properly notified of the place and date of the court hearing.
Remember that the procedure for appealing a court decision in cassation is a very difficult and lengthy process. Cassation courts are very reluctant to overturn decisions made by lower authorities. Practice shows that a lot depends on the correctness of the cassation, so do not rush to refuse qualified legal assistance. Despite the abundance of cassation appeal samples in the public domain, few can draw up a document correctly. It is important to give the correct interpretation of the applied standards, find their violations, and refer to current regulations. This can only be done by a qualified lawyer with experience in appealing decisions in civil or administrative proceedings. Even if the cassation court refused, this is not the last resort. The applicant has the right to send a petition to the Chairman of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation.
How to file a cassation appeal in court under the new rules of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation
Everyone is already aware that as of October 1, 2021, changes to the Civil Procedure Code of the Russian Federation came into force and from the same date new, so-called appellate and cassation courts of general jurisdiction began their work.
Now they have returned to the old system of filing cassation appeals through the courts of first instance. At one time, it seems under Boris Yeltsin, this scheme was abandoned because the red tape of judges in the first instance with the transfer of these complaints to higher courts acquired epidemic proportions. And since then, all cassation complaints began to be sent directly to the cassation courts, attaching certified copies of judicial acts from the first and second instance.
But still, unscrupulous judges in the courts of first instance still have the opportunity to delay the issuance of these certified copies of judicial acts, in order to thus “eat up” most of the 6-month period for filing cassation appeals. The specific names of these unscrupulous judges can be listed directly from the lists from the websites of all first instance courts of the Russian Federation.
According to the new rules, the procedure for filing cassation appeals is now as follows:
According to Part 1 of Article 377 of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation
1. A cassation appeal or presentation is submitted to a cassation court of general jurisdiction through the court of first instance.
The court of first instance is obliged to send the cassation appeal, presentation along with the case to the appropriate cassation court within three days from the date of receipt of the complaint by the court.
Thus, now you don’t have to wait very long until the judges in the court of first instance deign to give you certified copies of judicial acts and then attach them to your cassation appeal.
If a cassation appeal is filed directly with a new cassation court of general jurisdiction, then the employees of this court are obliged to redirect it to the court of first instance
to comply with the provisions of Article 377 of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation.
Yesterday, October 3, 2019, according to the new procedural rules, I submitted a cassation appeal in one civil case through the Butyrsky District Court of Moscow to the new 2nd Cassation Court of General Jurisdiction. When submitting this cassation appeal, it suddenly became clear that in the Butyrsky District Court of Moscow, the employees were not at all aware of exactly how the rules of the Code of Civil Procedure had changed.
Judging by the fact that they began to demand that I attach certified copies of the decision and the appeal ruling to my cassation appeal, as was the case before, we can say with confidence that they will not actually transfer any cases, especially multi-volume ones, to the new cassation court. And the new cassation courts, apparently, will not particularly bother themselves with requesting case materials from the courts of first instance.
It is especially unclear how, for example, case materials will be transferred from the city courts of the Moscow region to the city of Saratov, where a new cassation court has now been located to consider cassation complaints from residents of the entire Moscow region.
By mail, by train, by plane or by special transport? How?
Considering that the period for consideration of cassation complaints is not so long, only two months (Article 379.4 of the Code of Civil Procedure), how often will this transport run on this route?
Thus, I got the feeling that the consideration of cassation complaints in the new cassation courts will be of the same low quality as before.
Of course, if this is not the case and the judges in the new cassation prove themselves to be qualified specialists, I and many of my colleagues will be pleasantly surprised.
PS
Somehow I don’t really like the expression “file a complaint.”
There is a strong whiff of serfdom from the past.
Maybe it would be better to say “submit a complaint”?
Although the current serfdom will still not go away.
Where should a cassation appeal be filed?
The key to success and saving time is the correct choice of jurisdiction. It is not enough to draft the text of a complaint in a legally competent manner; it is important to send it to the right judicial authority.
When appealing decisions of arbitration courts, you must remember that the cassation appeal system includes two levels - the district arbitration court and the economic disputes panel of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation. The complaint is sent to the authority that made the decision that you think was unlawful.
When challenging decisions in cases of general jurisdiction, you must send a complaint to the cassation instance - the higher court of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation. To appeal the appeal ruling, you need to contact the Presidium of the same court. This is how decisions of magistrates and district courts are appealed. The current legislation reserves the applicant's right to appeal to the Supreme Court. The statistics are disappointing: this authority considers no more than 1% of submitted complaints, but there is always a chance. Perhaps the specifics of your case are such that the Supreme Court will be interested in it.
Not only court decisions that have entered into force are appealed through the cassation procedure, but also those for which the appeal mechanism has been exhausted.
You need to understand that if the appeal procedure is missed and the decision enters into legal force, you can file a complaint against the decision of the court of first instance. After a refusal on appeal, the applicant has the choice of appealing directly against the decision of the appellate court or the original decision.

How to make a cassation correctly?

The document is drawn up in any form, but some rules must be followed. The list of required information includes:
- Details of the Court of Cassation;
- Full name of the judicial authority that made the appealed decision;
- Information about the applicant (full name, residential address, contact details) and other participants in the dispute;
- Date and place of the final consideration of the case, its serial number;

Experts know that the text of the cassation differs significantly from the content of the appeal and the initial statement of claim. There is no need to rely on the sample claim and duplicate information that is already in the jelly.

How to properly file a complaint in 2021?
An example of an appeal in 2021 must meet the standards required for the court to accept documentation.
Requirements in the appeal
The sample is filled out after receiving a reasoned court decision; this will help to understand the essence of the case. The requirements cannot indicate just anything, they should be expressed clearly, and they must comply with the powers of the appellate body on the basis of Art. 328 Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation.
Heading of the appeal against the court decision
In the header of the form, for example, in the ECHR, it is necessary to indicate the name of the court to which it is being submitted. Contact and personal details of the applicant.
In addition, the document must have a title according to the case, for example, “Cassation appeal in the case of fitness trainer Sushko.” By the way, according to statements by the defendant’s lawyer, it was the latest changes in the judicial order that gave hope for the restoration of justice. Therefore, only after the changes came into force, the lawyer prepared an appeal in cassation in the case of his client, fitness trainer Sushko.
Contents of the descriptive part of the appeal
In the descriptive part, you should state your point of view regarding the veracity of the court order, indicate the violated norms of legislation and your disagreement. At the same time, the part must be filled out correctly; there is no need to repeat it, for example, to describe in a new way the verdict of the court, which is already attached.
You can also indicate your disagreement in any business form, such as when filling out a book of complaints and suggestions. But it is better to take the grounds from Art. 330 Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation and fill them according to the case.
Important: the descriptive part must be complete, as fitness trainer Sushko’s lawyer points out in an interview regarding filling out the cassation appeal, but at the same time it must be brief and clearly indicate the points that the court should pay attention to.
Documents attached to the appeal under the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation
After the list of requirements, a list of attached documents should be included in the body of the form submitted to the ECHR. First of all, there must be several copies of the completed application according to the number of participants in the process.
Next, attach a receipt for payment of the state duty to the form.
As a rule, other documents are not attached to the form in 2021, since they are already in the civil case considered by the first instance.
Unless, when new facts are discovered, the form, for example, submitted to the ECHR, should be supplemented with supporting materials. In addition, a request for consideration should be attached to the submitted documents.

What can you demand when filing a cassation?
Experts say that in the text of the complaint you can request a new decision or send the case for retrial. This is very important, because even when violations of procedural norms are discovered, higher-level judges rarely go beyond the stated requirements. The best option is to demand that the case be returned for a new trial to the appellate instance or the court of first instance. They, in turn, treat the introduction of new evidence and facts with greater responsibility and care.
If you demand a new decision in a complaint, you must ensure that the case contains arguments and data for this. Additional evidence or re-evaluation of available data is not carried out by the court of cassation. If the data is insufficient, the applicant will most likely be denied a new decision on the case.
The time frame for consideration of cassation depends on the legal proceedings. When dealing with civil disputes, the complaint is considered within a month without requesting a case and within 2 months, if necessary, requesting a case.
Complaints in arbitration cases are considered no later than two months from the date of receipt of the application. It is important to remember that if a complaint is sent before the statutory period for cassation appeal has expired, then the established two months will begin to count not from the moment of filing, but from the day the maximum period expires. Due to the complexity of the cases, the court may decide to extend the deadline to six months or more.
State duty when filing a cassation appeal
When filing a cassation appeal, a state fee must be paid. Thus, the Tax Code (Article 333.19) stipulates that when filing a cassation appeal, a state fee in the amount of 50% of the amount of the state fee payable when filing a claim of a non-property nature must be paid. It is also stipulated that when filing a claim of a non-property nature, a state duty in the amount of 300 rubles is provided for individuals, and in the amount of 6,000 rubles for legal entities.
Accordingly, when filing a cassation appeal, a state fee of 150 rubles must be paid. (current as of October 2021) for individuals and in the amount of 3,000 rubles for legal entities.

Gratitude from N.S. Khokhlov I am Khokhlov N.S. I express special gratitude to lawyer A.V. Pavlyuchenko who defended my consumer protection rights. I was pleasantly surprised by his professionalism, where he discovered the false address of my defendant registered in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, and also defended me, as I believe, from the unreasonable decisions of the trial judge. If I need legal assistance in the future, I will only turn to A.V. Pavlyuchenko.
