Abstract Th e aim of this article is to point to insufficiencies of the current legal regulation of the appellate review proceeding in civil cases, when the court competent to deal with the appellate reviews is not able to fulfill its function of a unifier of case law and the defender of lawfullness of decision-making any more. Th e proposed amendment of the Civil procedure code which is being prepared by the Ministry of Justice reacts to many of these insufficiencies. In the article we have only focused on crucial conceptual problems of the proposed legal regulation and we have avoided other deficiencies requiring deeper analysis and the knowledge of Czech legal regulation.

The institutional capacity of the courts of audit as makers and applicants of precedents and summulas (restatement of case law) is investigated to answer the following: is it possible a mutually beneficial approach to the decision standards regimen from the Civil Procedure Code-CPC, as well as a productive dialogue with the Law of Introduction to the Brazilian Legal Statutes (Lei de Introdução às normas do Direito Brasileiro-LINDB)?. The objective of the work is to analyze, from the abstract and concrete institutional capacities of the audit courts, the aptitude for the formation and application of decision-making standards. To do so, Ronald Dworkin's interpretive theory was chosen, especially because it is believed that precedents are intertwined in a discursive plot, when every single interpreter commits to analyzing past decisions, in a reflexive way, to decide in the present and, at the same time, anticipating the directions for the future of the decision, which is made in the here and now. The hypothesis is that the audit courts have the potential ability to form and apply precedents and summulas, arising from the exercise of their constitutional powers, but that it is also necessary to develop a concrete capacity to form and apply controlling decision patterns. In this way, it allows for a better understanding of the relationship between the decisions of the audit courts and the judicial ones. It is a theoretical work, of legal analysis of the subject, using the deductive method, starting from a general analysis to reach the institutional capacity of audit courts for the formation and application of decision-making standards.

This article explores the causes for the emergence of “corruption-causing factors” in judicial acts, indicates correlation between “corruption-causing factors” and “private patronage” on the part of mafia institution (modern mafia groups), which is the highest “specific economic enterprise or industry that produces, encourages, and sells private patronage”, including interference in justice through corruption and bribery. The case law on the topic is analyzed. The object of this research is the activity of judges in assessing legally valid circumstances in relation to the responsibility of judges. The subject of this research is the norms of Russian legislation that regulate the activity of judges in assessing legally valid circumstances, as well as the texts of judicial acts on claims under the Article 125 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation, civil and administrative cases of the courts of St. Petersburg, and the responsibility of judges. The author notes the absence of definition of “corruption-causing factor” in the judicial act, its characteristics, responsibility of the judges for decision-making that contain “corruption-causing factor”, effective judicial bodies that “investigate” the disciplinary misconduct of judges. It is underlined that the implementation of the institution of investigative judge was anticipatory. The scientific novelty is substantiated by the fact that this article is first to outline the concept of “corruption-causing factor” in the judicial act as the grounds for bringing the judge to disciplinary responsibility. The conclusion is made that this is a comprehensive issue; thus, the longer it would take to solve the questions of effective legal regulation of the mechanism of judicial responsibility, the more it would augment the risks of proliferation of the “corruption-causing factor” in the judicial system, which destroys confidence in the government authorities and deteriorates the state from within.

The article considers the problem of application of artificial intelligence in the law of Ukraine in general and in the notarial and civil process in particular. The legal consequences of the legal regime of temporary occupation of some territories of Ukraine are indicated and the ways to eliminate obstacles in the protection and defense of the rights of citizens of Ukraine in these territories are determined. The legal construction of «artificial intelligence» is studied and its types are offered. The conclusion about the expediency of using intelligent computer programs, intelligent information technologies as types of artificial intelligence in notarial and executive processes is substantiated. It is proposed to consider the use of artificial intelligence in notarial and civil proceedings for citizens of Ukraine living in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea or in the occupied territories of Donetsk and Luhansk regions, within the limits, in the manner and in the manner prescribed by law of Ukraine. It is proved that the introduction of artificial intelligence through the mechanism of protection and defense of human and civil rights and freedoms in the civil process must be adapted to social relations that arise and exist, not violate the constitutional rights and freedoms of man and citizen in Ukraine and have a legal basis. Based on the scientific and practical analysis of the Civil Procedure Code of Ukraine, it is proposed for citizens of Ukraine living in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea or in the occupied territories of Donetsk and Luhansk regions to establish that lawsuits, separate and injunctive proceedings are entirely online. The procedure (procedure) and features of such proceedings with the use of various types of artificial intelligence (such as chatbots and other information intelligence technologies) should be defined in the Civil Procedure Code of Ukraine. It is noted that the introduction of the above mechanism to protect and defend the rights of citizens living in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea or in the occupied territories of Donetsk and Luhansk regions through intelligent computer programs will require proper maintenance and support of such programs to prevent leakage of information, leakage of personal data, etc. The conclusion is substantiated that e-litigation and remote notarial proceedings will increase the effectiveness of notarial and judicial forms of protection and protection of rights and make these state forms of protection more flexible, able to anticipate the peculiarities of procedural actions involving residents of the temporarily occupied territories.

The article presents an analysis of the institution of securing evidence in the civil process from the point of view of the development of its legal regulation, doctrine and practice. The teaching of professor M.K. Treushnikov on the evidence is taken as a basis. Through the prism of his ideas, theoretical concepts of securing evidence are revealed, from prerevolutionary works to modern research; the sequence of the formation of norms on the securing evidence on the example of procedural codes of various periods; trends in the law practice of securing evidence. The correlation of the securing evidence with the elements of the judicial proof is revealed. It is substantiated that the securing evidence includes such elements of the structure of judicial proof as: indication of facts, indication of evidence and preliminary assessment. The end result of the procedural action to secure evidence is the possibility of implementing all subsequent elements – presentation, disclosure, investigation and final assessment of evidence. Conclusions are formulated on the results of the development of the institution of securing evidence, which from rather brief and obvious provisions of procedural legislation, a few practice has turned into an actual procedural activity. Its demand is predicted to grow in the context of digitalization of information, as well as due to the possibility of using it in the framework of arbitration. At the same time, an increase in the number of cases of unfounded appeal of interested parties to actions to secure evidence is noted. The authors support a critical assessment of the rule of the Arbitration Procedure Code of the Russian Federation that the securing evidence is carried out by the arbitration court according to the rules for securing a claim, and a proposal for a unified regulation of this institution in accordance with the rules of the Civil Procedure Code of the Russian Federation.

This highly significant work in terms of litigation practice critically examines the case law of Germany’s highest courts with regard to third-party counterclaims. In particular, it discusses the recognition of third-party counterclaims as an independent institution of procedural law. This work solves the problems that arise in this respect, above all the question of local jurisdiction, using the existing legally regulated instruments of procedural law. Due to the actual lack of the presupposed loophole in the regulations, it therefore calls into question both the analogous application of § 33 of Germany’s civil procedure code (Zivilprozessordnung) and the judicial development of the law in this area.

The article highlights the stages of development of legislation regulating preparatory procedural actions in civil cases in courts of general jurisdiction and arbitration courts. The author notes that the Decrees of Peter the Great had an important impact on setting the time limits for the performance of some procedural preparatory actions in the 18th century. The adoption of the Charter of Civil Procedure of 1864 consolidated preliminary written preparation as an important stage in the proceedings that carried out based on adversarial and equality of rights of the parties. The author comes to a conclusion that the stage of preparing the case for trial practically did not exist until 1929, since the 1923 Civil Procedure Code of the RSFSR reduced the essence of the preparation only to the judge’s right to collect necessary evidence for the resolve of the case at the request of the plaintiff and beyond the objections of the defendant. It is noted that the RSFSR Civil Procedure Code, adopted in 1964, also did not call the preparation of the case for trial a mandatory stage of the process; and only in the Resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the RSFSR of 19 March 1969 “On the Preparation of Civil Cases for Trial” preparation was indicated as independent stage and is obligatory in every civil case. The author emphasizes that the adoption in 2002 of the Civil Procedure Code of the Russian Federation and the Arbitration Procedure Code of the Russian Federation significantly changed the preparation of the case for trial, imparting an adversarial character to the preparatory actions. The legislative fundamentalization of this stage allowed the author to present the preparation of the case for trial as a system consisting of two interconnected subsystems (guided and regulatory). The author notes that a systemic approach to studying the preparation of cases for consideration makes it possible to identify the role of preparatory procedures in civil procedure, to regulate the interaction between the court and the parties, to predict possible results from preparatory procedures, and find out the balance between the purposes and aims of preparation at each stage of the proceedings. A comparative analysis of the norms of the Civil Procedure Code of the Russian Federation and the Arbitration Procedure Code of the Russian Federation, which regulate the rules on the disclosure of evidence, made it possible to come to the conclusion that it is inexpedient to stipulate in the Civil Procedure Code of the Russian Federation the obligation to disclose evidence without establishing measures of responsibility for its failure to comply. Attention is drawn to the inconsistency of the legislator, who defines Article 132 of the Code of Administrative Proceedings of the Russian Federation as “Aims of Preparing an Administrative Case for Trial”, but does not indicate any of them. The author offers a list of such aims. Noting the specifics of administrative proceedings, the author states that such a problem of preparing an administrative case for trial as reconciliation of the parties can be singled out with a certain degree of conditionality, since the court promotes the reconciliation of the parties if reconciliation is possible in this category of administrative cases. On the contrary, in civil and arbitration proceedings the central place in the modern model of preparatory procedures in the court of first instance should be occupied by two interrelated goals: the first is aimed at maximizing the possibilities of reconciliation of the parties, the second is aimed at the qualitative preparation of the case for consideration in court, in connection with which the importance of the stage of preparing the case for trial is growing, since in the event of conciliation or refusal of the claim, the goal of the proceedings can be achieved without trial. In her study of the problems of scientific understanding of the purposes and aims of both preparatory procedures and entire civil proceedings, the author comes to the conclusion that the effectiveness of judicial protection is directly dependent on the implementation of the targets based on constitutional provisions of civil, arbitration and administrative proceedings. Exploring foreign experience, the author points out that along with effective dispute resolution, a social function becomes an important component of the purpose of civil legal proceedings, without which domestic justice cannot do. In many ways, this should contribute to legislative consolidation of conciliation among the aims of civil, arbitration and administrative proceedings.
