On the Issue of Improving the Stay of Enforcement of Obligations
. Improving the institution of stay of enforcement of obligations is one of the urgent problems in modern civil law. The need to reform this institution is relevant as in the context of the coronavirus pandemic and forced self-isolation many organizations of trade, public catering, provision of household services and others are forced to suspend their work in connection with the introduced regime of anti-epidemic measures. Due to the lack of income, these organizations often find themselves in a situation where they cannot fulfill a number of obligations, primarily obligations arising from the lease agreement. The purpose of the study is to consider the features of theinstitution of stay of enforcement of obligations, to analyze the adequacy of this institution in the new conditions and to suggest ways to improve it. To achieve this goal, the author uses the following methods: analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, formal-legal approach. In the course of the study, it was found that in the new conditions, in particular in connection with the spread of coronavirus infection, it is necessary to reform the institution of stay of enforcement of obligations. The reform of this institution should be aimed at expanding the grounds for stay of enforcement of obligations, including by introducing such grounds as suspending the activities of an organization based on a decision of state authorities or local self-government bodies. In this case, the obligations of the specified organization are considered suspended until the resumption of its activities. It seems that this institution of stay of enforcement of obligations makes it possible to account the interests of both the creditor and the debtor, and therefore, in our opinion, is an effective institution for regulating private relations.
