Conditioned Depositing (Escrow) Agreement and Storage Agreement
Abstract
Relevance. The relevance of the study is conditioned by the recently introduced RF Civil Law chapters covering the conditioned depositing (escrow) agreement, and by the drawbacks of its legal regulation. In science, this type of agreement is poorly understood, in this regard, it becomes necessary to consider the features of an escrow agreement, as well as determine its similarities and differences with the storage agreement. The study of legal regulation allows us to establish possible directions for changing the current legislation for levelling the existing regulatory gaps in the escrow agreement application.
The purpose of the work is to compare the specific features of the escrow agreement and the storage agreement.
Objectives: to analyse the features of the escrow agreement, to identify similarities between the escrow agreement and the storage agreement, to define the criteria for differentiating between the escrow agreement and the storage agreement, to develop proposals for changing the current legislation in the field of legal regulation. Methodology. During the research, the following methods were used: comparative, analytical, formal-legal methods, systematic interpretation of law.
Results. The comparability of the escrow agreement and the storage agreement is conditioned by the signs of their certain similarity. For further development of the escrow agreement legal regulation, with the purpose of a more strict distinguishing of this agreeement structure from the storage agreement, it is necessary to provide for some changes in the Russian civil legislation.
Conclusions. Based on the comparative analysis of the Russian legislation, the article reveals the criteria for differentiating between an agreement of conditioned depositing of a thing (an escrow agreeement) and a storage agreement (purpose, object, number of the parties, the moment of the contractual obligations occurence, the mechanism for executing the agreement, the ability to dispose of the thing during the contracted period, protection from the seizure of the thing), and highlights differences and similarities in the legal regulation of these types of agreements, thus allowing the author to make specific proposals for changing the current civil legislation in this sphere.
