b) to ensure the life and health of citizens in contact with sources of increased danger (for example, passengers).

Mandatory insurance of the property of third parties is provided for in cases where the law imposes such an obligation on persons whose activities are related to the ownership of someone else's property (for example, a pawnshop).

Compulsory civil liability insurance in cases of harm and failure to fulfill obligations is established by law in the following cases:
a) in relation to persons carrying out activities on a professional basis to provide services to third parties (notaries, appraisers, auditors, arbitration managers, etc.);
b) in order to reduce social tension when harm is caused to third parties (for example, as a result of a traffic accident);

Commentary on Article 935 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation

1. Compulsory insurance is characterized by the fact that the law obliges a certain person to act as an insured under a property or personal insurance agreement.

2. In para. 2 p. 1 comment. Art. it is said that it is mandatory to conclude property insurance contracts (Article 930 of the Civil Code) and personal insurance (Article 934 of the Civil Code).

Only life and health insurance of other persons specified by law (insured persons) in the event of harm to their life and health by both the policyholder and third parties can be mandatory. The law cannot establish the obligation to insure one’s life and health (clause 2 of the commentary article). If such a law is adopted, then para. 2 p. 2 art. 3 GK. At the same time, comment. Art. does not prohibit the establishment of compulsory life and health insurance of another person, but at his expense (for example, compulsory life and health insurance of a passenger - clause 2 of Article 936 of the Civil Code).

As a general rule, insurance of property owned by another person may be mandatory. However, by virtue of paragraph 3 of the comment. Art. unitary enterprises (Article 113 of the Civil Code), as well as state and municipal institutions (Article 120 of the Civil Code), in cases provided for by law, must insure property that belongs to them under the right of economic management or operational management.

3. In para. 3 p. 1 comment. Art. it is said that it is mandatory to conclude liability insurance contracts (Articles 931 and 932 of the Civil Code). Only the risk of one's own liability can be insured. Examples of such insurance are compulsory insurance of civil liability of vehicle owners (Article 6 of the Law on Compulsory Motor Liability Insurance) and insurance of liability for damage caused during the operation of a hazardous production facility (Article 15 of the Federal Law of July 21, 1997 N 116-FZ "On the industrial safety of hazardous production facilities" (as amended)) (SZ RF. 1997. N 30. Art. 3588).

4. Often contracts provide for the obligation to insure a particular object. So, for example, according to Art. 742 of the Civil Code, the parties to a construction contract may provide for the obligation to insure the risk of accidental death or accidental damage to a construction project. It is also permissible to conclude a preliminary insurance agreement between the future policyholder and the insurer (Article 429 of the Civil Code). However, the listed cases are not cases of compulsory insurance in the sense of the comment. Art., and the absence of an insurance contract does not entail the consequences provided for in Art. 937 Civil Code. The consequences of failure to fulfill the contractual obligation to conclude an insurance contract are established either by the contract itself or by law (for example, paragraph 2 of Article 490 of the Civil Code).
