Abstract

The article appraises the possibility to
apply the norms of effective civil legislation to specific
rights of subsoil user, connected with direct influence on
the subsoil with regard to the substitution of the persons
in the obligation.
The following problem is considered: what will be
the legal possibilities of the subsoil user at transfer of
its rights and to what extent the transfer of such rights
may rely on the norms of Chapter 24 of the Civil Code
of the RF?
The principle possibility of such rights transfer and
the substitution of the subsoil user in relations arising
in the course of subsoil use (subsoil production) is recognized,
but with the account of some restrictions. The
restrictions of subsoil user rights assignment are appraised.
Specific features and the use perspectives of subsoil
user rights assignment without legislation alterations in
this sphere are considered.
