Compensation for Moral Damage in Case of Breach of Contractual Obligations

In the Russian legal order, the scope of recovery of moral damage directly depends on whether a property or non-property good is affected by an unlawful action. In the former case, compensation for moral harm is possible only if the relevant method of protection is provided by law. In particular, a special rule is provided for in Article 15 of the Consumer Rights Protection Law. By virtue of this rule, courts almost automatically recover moral damages in case of violation of consumer rights. Evaluation of the above legal decision is the subject of the present article.
