Eesti Vabariigi ja Vene Föderatsiooni lepingu õigusabi ja õigussuhete kohta tsiviil-, perekonna- ja kriminaalasjades denonsseerimise seadus

This Estonian bill would end (denounce) the bilateral agreement between Estonia and the Russian Federation on legal assistance and legal relations in civil, family and criminal matters. Such agreements typically govern how the courts and authorities of the two countries cooperate on serving documents, gathering evidence, recognising judgments and handling family and criminal cases. Based on the title alone, the bill would withdraw Estonia from these cooperation arrangements. This summary is based on metadata only, not the full legislative text. The change would mainly affect Estonian and Russian courts, prosecutors, ministries of justice, and individuals or companies involved in cross-border civil, family or criminal cases between the two countries. The exact effects on specific cases and the transition arrangements would be set out in the full text of the bill.
