Legal and regulatory gaps in the coal sector and their manifestation in the practice of issuing court orders

The article examines the impact of gaps in the regulatory framework of the Russian coal industry on the practice of issuing court orders. Key legislative problems have been identified: vague criteria of environmental responsibility, lack of uniform terms of coal supply contracts, insufficient elaboration of licesing standards, inconsistency of provision on social protection of workers and gaps in the regulation of digitalization processes. Using formallegal, comparative-legal methods, the difficulties of applying writ proceedings due to legal uncertainty are analyzed – first, the difficulties of confirming the indisputability of claims and compliance with the limits of recovery amounts. Proposed optimization measures include unifying industry acts and contracts, standardizing environmental and social compensation calculations, raising the claim limit for writ proceedings, recognizing electronic documents as indisputable evidence, and developing digital platforms for court order applications.
