Problematic Aspects of Law Enforcement Practice in Conclusion of a Power Supply Contract for Inherited Property

Abstract

To date, the procedure for concluding a power supply contract is sufficiently detailed and rarely gives rise to questions. In practice, however, there are exceptional situations that require a more thorough analysis of both the documents submitted by consumers for concluding power supply contracts and the current laws. One such situation is the conclusion of a power supply contract for inherited property. The article analyzes the problematic aspects of law enforcement in concluding power supply contracts for inherited property and suggests ways to address them. For example, considering the legality of refusal to conclude a power supply contract with an heir who has applied to a power supply organization during the period of inheritance acceptance (6 months), the author states the legal uncertainty, points out the risks associated with the refusal, proposes solutions and makes suggestions on how to improve the current laws on the electric power industry.
