What problem does it solve?
Under Russian civil procedure law, receiving a pre-litigation claim (pretensia) from a counterparty triggers a strict 30-day response deadline per Article 4, Part 5 of the Arbitration Procedure Code (APK). Missing this deadline allows the counterparty to file a lawsuit without preliminary motions, putting the recipient at a significant procedural disadvantage. This skill automates the full end-to-end triage and response workflow for incoming pre-litigation claims to ensure compliance with deadlines and procedural requirements.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Structured Claim Extraction: Automatically pull key fields from incoming claims, including sender details, receipt date, basis for the claim, specific demands, and response deadlines.
- Portfolio Cross-Check: Automatically cross-reference the claim against existing legal matters to avoid duplicate intake and link related cases.
- Merit Assessment: Evaluate each claim against applicable Russian Civil Code norms, procedural validity, factual accuracy, and statute of limitations to classify claims as strong, weak, or frivolous.
- Strategic Response Options: Generate four tailored response pathways (substantive reply, holding request for additional information, settlement offer, or ignore with preservation) with pre-built compliant templates.
- Use Case: A business receives a pre-litigation claim for unpaid contract debt and statutory interest under Article 395 of the Civil Code; use this skill to extract all claim details, verify procedural validity, assess claim strength, and draft a compliant response within the 30-day window.
