Exemption from payment of the security deposit
In civil cases, persons who in accordance with the law are released from State fees need not pay the security deposit. The Court, taking into account the financial circumstances of a natural person, may fully or partially release the person from the payment of a security deposit.
In administrative cases, the security deposit shall not be paid:
- by persons, who are exempt from paying the state fee in accordance with the law;
- when filing an ancillary complaint upon decision of a court (a judge) to refuse to release an individual from payment of a state fee;
- When submitting an application about joining the cassation complaint.
The Court, taking into account financial situation of a person, may exempt a natural person from security deposit payment fully or partly. In making the decision, a senator shall take into account whether other applications, complaints and requests of the last three years submitted by a person to the administrative court, have been repeatedly refused to accept, to consider, have been left without consideration or rejected.
Refund of the security deposit
In civil cases the security deposit is refunded if:
- the Department of Civil Cases fully or partly annuls or amends court judgement appealed;
- the cassation complaint is revoked prior to assignment sitting of the department.
For submitting an application for initiating a case in connection with newly-discovered circumstances, the security deposit shall be refunded if:
- the contested decision is fully or partly annulled;
- the application is revoked prior to its examination;
- the Court refuses to accept an application, because it does not have attached a document, which certifies the authorization of the representative to apply to the court with an application, or security deposit is no paid in the full amount or in accordance with the procedures laid down in law.
The security deposit is refunded regarding an ancillary complaint if:
- the contested decision is fully or partly annulled or amended
If the Department of Civil Cases has acknowledged in its ruling that the security deposit is refundable and it has been deposited in the deposit account of the Supreme Court, the party to the proceedings shall apply to the Supreme Court for a refund of the security deposit.
Application form for refund of the security deposit
In administrative cases the security deposit is refunded in full if:
- the Department of Administrative Cases in whole or in part satisfies the submitted request for temporary protection or complaint (appealed court decision in whole or in part is repealed or amended) or establishes newly discovered circumstances and refers case to re-adjudication in whole or in part;
- a cassation complaint, an ancillary complaint, a request for temporary protection or an application in connection with newly discovered circumstances is rejected (or is left without consideration), as it is presented by the person to whom the court has set capacity restrictions that do not allow such person to independently implement administrative procedural rights and obligations;
- an ancillary complaint is deemed not to be submitted, if it is refused to initiate cassation proceedings, if cassation proceedings or proceedings related to ancillary complaint have been terminated due to fact that complaint is submitted about unappealable ruling, taking into account the erroneous appeal procedure stated in the ruling;
- proceedings in the case are terminated, due to termination of legal dispute (Section 282 (7) of the Administrative Procedure Law)
Security deposit shall be refunded in full to the defendant or a third party if the applicant withdraws the application.
50% of the security deposit is refunded:
- if a complaint or a request for temporary protection or an application in connection with newly discovered circumstances is withdrawn before the end of the adjudication of case on the merits.
On the basis of person’s application and without the decision of a senator the security deposit (as well as the State fee) shall be refunded, if it is paid for the activities for which it has not to be paid, or the sum paid exceeds the sum to be paid as provided by the law.
