Рассмотрены вопросы регулирования российским законодательством эскроу-отношений, их сущность, зарубежная практика в области эскроу-отношений, определены приоритетные сферы распространения их в Российской Федерации. Проведено разграничение понятий договора эскроу и договора счета эскроу, определены их отличия как друг от друга, так и от существующих и распространенных в российской практике смежных им отношений. Проанализированы действующее законодательство и принимаемые поправки к Гражданскому кодексу, регулирующие договор эскроу как отдельный гражданско-правовой инструмент. Авторы приходят к выводу, что гражданский закон представил усеченный вариант конструкции договора счета эскроу в отличие от того соглашения, который получил распространение в мировой практике (ограниченный перечень имущества и эскроу-агентов).
The issues of regulation by the Russian legislation of escrow relations, their essence, foreign practice in the field of escrow relations are considered, the priority areas of their distribution in the Russian Federation are defined. A distinction has been made between the concepts of an escrow contract and an escrow account contract, and their differences have been determined both from each other and from existing and widespread relations in the Russian practice. The current legislation and the adopted amendments to the Civil Code governing the escrow contract as a separate civil law instrument are analyzed. The authors come to the conclusion that civil law presented a truncated version of the construction of an escrow invoice agreement, in contrast to the agreement that has become widespread in world practice (a limited list of property and escrow agents). contract, and their differences have been determined both from each other and from existing and widespread relations in the Russian practice.
