The accurate computation of limitation periods constitutes one of the court’s central tasks, including in relation to claims seeking the restoration of corporate control (Clause 3, Art. 65.2 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation). An analysis of case law demonstrates that the decisive factor in such matters is the good-faith and reasonable exercise of claimants’ corporate rights. Equally important is the claimant’s objective ability to discover the loss of corporate control, particularly in circumstances where this fact has been deliberately concealed by third parties.
