The Supreme Court extended the approaches from the "Dolina case" to all real estate transactions.
The Supreme Court of Russia approved a review of judicial practice regarding the challenge of real estate transactions, which included the approaches applied in the case of singer Larisa Dolina, reports the newspaper "Kommersant." The document contains clarifications on Article 178 of the Civil Code, concerning transactions made under the influence of misunderstanding.
According to the review, the seller's misunderstanding regarding the motives of the transaction cannot serve as sufficient grounds for declaring it invalid. Courts are instructed to take into account the good faith behavior of the buyer, as well as the buyer's ability to recognize the misunderstanding under which the seller acted. The review emphasizes that both parties to the disputed transaction should have equal protection.
The document also clarifies that the seller is obliged to prove that they did not understand the meaning of their actions. If the victim refuses to undergo a mental health evaluation, the court may dismiss their claim.
Recall that in the summer of 2024, Larisa Dolina sold an apartment in Khamovniki to Polina Lurie for 112 million rubles, after which she claimed to have become a victim of fraudsters to whom she sent the received money. The Khamovnichesky Court of Moscow restored the singer's rights to the property, but in December 2025, the Supreme Court overturned this decision and left the apartment with Polina Lurie.
