Semyonova Yaroslava Olegovna

In civil law, great importance is attached to deadlines, since they create certainty and stability, discipline the participants of legal relations. One of the most significant categories of terms in Russian legislation is the "reasonable term". This is explained by the fact that, firstly, the terms in general and reasonable terms in particular are related to the fulfillment of obligations in civil law; secondly, the category of "reasonable time" is rather vague and estimated. Within the framework of this study, the author analyzes the reasonableness of deadlines in substantive and procedural law. As a result, the main differences are identified and a number of recommendations are given that could further solve the problem of inaccuracy in determining the category of reasonable deadlines.
