The Conditional Method of Rights Protection in the Field of Heat Supply
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The article examines various aspects of the application of the rules on unjust enrichment in the sphere of heat supply (property, obligation and protective), demonstrating a largely formal approach not only to legal relations in the sphere of heat supply, but also to the choice of methods for protecting civil rights. Using a number of indicative legal disputes as an example, the article criticizes the right to assign thermal capacity, which often leads to unjust enrichment; the model for regulating the transfer of thermal energy, in which a related organization bears uncompensated costs for the use of its heat network property; the right to demand compensation by the subscriber for poor-quality thermal energy, calculated taking into account the change in the amount of payment for the utility service.
