Abstract

There are many conflicting points of view on the legal content of the principles of good faith and the prohibition of abuse of the right. This predetermines the position that has developed in domestic judicial practice that as acts violating the operation of these principles, the courts recognize a large number of forms, types and methods of actions, between which it is difficult to find something in common. A similar situation is developing in foreign (European) legal order. In this regard, many legal scholars find it difficult to find the universal (pan-European) content of these principles. Meanwhile, the analysis of the materials of the judicial practice showed a striking similarity between the approaches used by the Russian courts and their European colleagues on these issues. The article presents the results of the scientific study (the most extensive one ever conducted in relation to the practice of applying Article 10 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation - about 15 thousand court cases have been analyzed) and it is assumed that the application of the principles of prohibition of abuse of the right and good faith has a universal (European) character.
