Protecting the “weak” party in a subsidy agreement

The article is devoted to the subsidy agreement, which is an unnamed civil law agreement in public law. The author notes that the recipient of the subsidy, being the weak party in the contract, needs additional legal protection. According to the author, at present, the norms of the budget legislation of the Russian Federation, establishing liability for violation of the subsidy agreement, violate the principles of fairness and proportionality, placing an excessive financial burden on the recipient of the subsidy. The author comes to the conclusion that it is necessary to limit the liability of the subsidy recipient.
