Dmitry Medvedev signed Federal Law On Amendments to Article 29 of the Civil Procedure Code of the Russian Federation.

The federal law introduces an amendment which will enable crewmembers of Russian vessels to petition the court at the location of the defendant's vessel or the port of the vessel’s registration in order to recover wages and other payments due to them for their work on board the vessel.

The federal law will improve the judicial protection of the rights of Russian sea vessels’ crewmembers.
