Abstract
Introduction. The paper examines the structure of due performance of obligations, as well as analyses the principal amendments to the civil law regulation of the relevant relations.
Materials and methods. The research material consisted of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, jurisprudence, and scientific studies in the field of civil law. The methodological basis was composed of general scientific (analysis, synthesis, and analogy) and special legal methods (comparative-legal, formallogical, systemic, structural-functional methods, and method of interpretation).
Research results. The author notes that the amendments to the Civil Code of the Russian Federation and their construction by the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, despite their focus on ensuring the due performance of obligations and increasing the protection level of rights and legitimate interests of parties, have both advantages and disadvantages that require further study and revision. These amendments are considered in the context of the specific performance of an obligation in relation to the due subject, persons, method, date, venue.
Сonclusion. The provisions on legal interest, differentiation between debt and payment currencies, alternative and optional obligations, additional requirements for performing an obligation to a due person, conditional performance of an obligation, possibility to set a date for performing an obligation which is linked to certain actions being performed by a party to a contract or concrete circumstances, date and venue of the performance of an obligation, which were included in the legislation, are well formulated. At the same time, it seems that the legal rules on the transfer of a creditor’s rights to a third party who performed the obligation instead of a debtor, performance of an obligation by a third party, partial performance of an obligation, early performance of an obligation require adjustments.
