Information Letter of the Presidium of the Higher Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation No. 70 of November 4, 2002 on the Application by Arbitration Courts of Articles 140 and 317 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation

Explains the procedure of application by arbitration courts of the articles of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation defining the currency of monetary obligations. In particular, arbitration courts are ordered to define the currency of the debt and the currency of the payment.
In cases when the monetary obligation in the contract is expressed in a foreign currency without indication of the need to pay in roubles, the court should consider such obligation as expected to be covered in roubles in the amount defined according to the official rate as of the day of payment, if only the court does not arrive at a different conclusion while interpreting the contract.
The writ of execution on the collection of the monetary resources in a foreign currency may be sent by the collecting party to the bank where the debtor keeps the account in this currency. If such account is not available, or the money is not available on this account, the execution of the debt is effected in roubles at the expense of any other property of the debtor proceeding from the official rate of the collected foreign currency as of the day of the actual execution (payment).
When the debt in a foreign currency or expressed in a foreign currency or conditional monetary units is collected according to court proceedings, the state duty is paid in roubles as of the day of submission of the appeal. The change of the rate of the foreign currency or conditional monetary units to the rouble in the period of consideration of the dispute does not affect the amount of the state duty.
