En el trabajo se analiza la responsabilidad civil de los magistrados del Tribunal Constitucional teniendo en cuenta dos resoluciones judiciales. La primera, una sentencia de la Sala Primera del Tribunal Supremo, de 23 de enero de 2004 que, extralimitándose de sus funciones, condenó a los magistrados del Tribunal Constitucional por responsabilidad civil por culpa grave. La segunda, la sentencia del Tribunal Constitucional 133/2013, de 5 de junio que, casi diez años después, anula la decisión de la Sala Primera del Supremo por vulneración de dos derechos fundamentales de los magistrados constitucionales: el derecho de acceso a las funciones y cargos públicos, al impedir su ejercicio sin perturbaciones ilegítimas y el derecho a la tutela judicial efectiva, por dictar una resolución judicial con defectos constitucionales de motivación.The paper analyzes the civil liability of judges of the Constitutional Court considering two judicial decisions. The first, a judgment of the Civil Chamber of the Supreme Court of 23January 2004, exceeding their functions, condemned the Constitutional Court judges from civil liability for gross negligence. Second, the Constitutional Court133/2013, of 5 June, almost ten years later, annuls the decision of the First Chamber of the Supreme for violation of two fundamental constitutional rights of judges: the right of access to public offices, to prevent illegitimate exercise without interferenceand the right to judicial protection, to render a judgment on constitutional defects reasons.

Proper Consideration

In civil proceedings, the legislator defines two conditions that ensure the process of judicial review and resolution of cases: the condition for proper consideration, resolution of civil cases and the condition for timely consideration and civil cases resolution. Proper consideration and resolution of cases involves compliance with the substantive and procedural law requirements. Timely consideration and resolution of cases involves compliance with the court terms of their consideration and resolution. Each of these conditions ensures the right of the persons concerned to judicial protection. Examining these conditions compliance process, we came to the conclusion that the fulfillment by the judge of the condition of compliance with the terms consideration and cases resolution for which he bears disciplinary responsibility, is achieved by his failure to meet the conditions of proper consideration and resolution of cases in terms of compliance with the procedural rules of their consideration and resolution, which entails violations of the right of interested persons to judicial protection. To solve this problem, we propose in civil proceedings to give the court the right to determine the period of consideration of the case at its discretion, based on the criteria of its reasonableness determined by the legislator.

Shtefan A. The disposition principle in civil proceedings. The disposition (from the Latin «dispono» — to dispose) in the most general sense in the legal context means the ability to act at own discretion, to independently choose the direction of their behavior within the limits established by law. In different branches of law, the disposition has its own specific features but its basis is always that the subject of the relevant legal relationship is endowed with a certain freedom of choice in the exercise of their rights and independently disposes of them.The dispositive nature of civil proceedings has the following elements:1) civil proceedings in the case are based on the fact that its occurrence is possible only by virtue of the application of the person concerned to the court. The only grounds for initiating proceedings in the case is the submission of the application of the interested person in accordance with the requirements established by lawand in accordance with the procedure established by law;2) the court considers civil cases within the requirements stated in the case which include the requirements stated in the main claim, in a counterclaim, and in a third party claim; 3) consideration of civil cases is carried out solely on the basis of evidence submitted by the parties to the case or required by the court in cases provided by law. The main burden of filling the case with evidence rests with the parties to the case, and the court assists them in obtaining evidence by demanding it only in casesestablished by law;4) the party to the case, as well as the person who has legal capacity and in whose interests the claim is filed, disposes of their rights in relation to the subject matter of the dispute at their own discretion. This rule covers only procedural, not substantive rights, and applies only to rights relating to the subject matter of the dispute. In addition, the possibility of discretion of the party to the case in relation to their procedural rights on the subject matter of the dispute is allowed to the extent provided by procedural law;5) the court engages the relevant body or person that has the right to protect the rights, freedoms, and interests of others if the actions of the legal representative are contrary to the interests of the person he represents. In case of discrepancy between the interests of this person and the actions of his legal representative, the court is authorized to involve a body or person who is legally entitled to protect the rights, freedoms, and interests of others to participate in the case;6) the collecting of evidence in civil cases is not the obligation of the court except in cases established by procedural law. The court should not act in this direction instead of an inactive party to the case; the mandatory authority of the court to collect evidence is due to the direct indication of in which cases and what evidence is collected by the court itself;7) the court has the right to collect evidence relating to the subject matter of the dispute on its own initiative only in cases where it is necessary to protect minors or minors or persons who have been declared incompetent or whose capacity is limited, as well as in other cases provided by procedural law.The disposition as a basis of civil proceedings determines the only possible condition for the process of consideration of the case — the application of the interested person to the court, the limits of consideration of the case — stated by the interested person requirements, the basis of the case — evidence submitted by the parties or demanded by the court. The disposition also means the freedom of the party to dispose of their procedural rights in relation to the subject matter of the dispute, the absence of any obstacles to the implementation of such an order at its discretion. This freedom is not absolute and it has the statutory limits. Such limits are necessary for the effective functioning of the civil procedural form, in particular, the observance of reasonable time limits for civil cases and the prevention of abuse of procedural rights.Key words: disposition, disposition principle, civil proceedings

This work is devoted to identifying the significance of the appeal proceedings in civil cases. We emphasize that the right to judicial protection is one of the fundamental human rights. To achieve this goal, we set the following tasks: define the concept of appeal proceedings; characterize the essence of the appeal proceedings in civil cases. In the course of studying the issue, we use the methods of scientific knowledge, based on the results of which the appropriate conclusions are drawn: despite the wide recognition of the appeal proceedings in the Russian Federation, we note the need to improve the efficiency of this institution due to certain omissions in the legislation. As a result, we define what should be understood as an appeal – consideration of cases that have not entered into legal force. By virtue of this, the importance and significance of the appeal proceedings as an appeal tool, as well as the direct correction of judicial errors, is noted both by the norms of domestic legislation and by international human rights bodies. The indicated gaps in the legislation show the absence of clearly defined boundaries, which creates problems in determining the value and essence of the appeal proceedings both at the theoretical and practical levels. In particular, there is a controversy on the appeal proceedings’ importance. However, the doctrine identifies two main elements, the essence of the appeal proceedings is: 1) the repetition of the case; 2) verification of the judicial act. Nevertheless, despite the high prevalence of appeals in civil proceedings, the issue of improving the effectiveness of this institution is still relevant, which leads to the inefficiency of civil proceedings in general.

The implementation of the constitutional right to judicial protection is an important guarantee for participants in legal relations in case of violation of the rights of one of the parties or a threat of violation of the rights of participants in legal relations. Judicial protection is of particular relevance for the participants in legal relations, who do not speak the languages in which the administration of justice is carried out. Within the framework of this article, the authors analyze indicators that are designed to, on the one hand, signal on the current state and existing possibilities of implementing the constitutional right to judicial protection in the state languages of the subject of the Russian Federation (statistical function), and, on the other hand, determine growth drivers that can provide language guarantees for the territory of our state, which is defined as a democratic federal legal state according to Art. 1 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation. Within the framework of this article, three indicators are highlighted and analyzed: 1) existing legal potential for the implementation of the constitutional right to judicial protection in civil cases in the state languages of the republics within the Russian Federation; 2) analysis of the practical implementation of the opportunities currently available for the implementation of the constitutional right to judicial protection in civil cases in the state languages of the republics within the Russian Federation; 3) determination of growth points in the implementation of the constitutional right to judicial protection in civil cases in the state languages of the republics within the Russian Federation

This chapter provides an overview of the sanctions that are available to the EU in the conduct of its foreign policy. First, it focuses on EU restrictive measures or sanctions analysing the applicable provisions and procedure for their adoption under the EU Treaties before making a systematic presentation of the different regimes adopted by the Union and their link to UN sanctions. The chapter also delves into the large corpus of case law on the compliance of sanctions with fundamental rights, in particular procedural rights, such as the rights of defence and the right to effective judicial protection, and substantive rights, such as the right to carry out an economic activity and right to property. A section is also dedicated to the constantly developing case law on actions for damages from sanctions. Sanctions adopted by the Union within the framework of cooperation and association agreements for the violation of certain essential elements of these agreements are also analysed. Lastly, a discussion of the specific case of the blocking statute, an autonomous measure adopted to counter extraterritorial effects of legislation and actions of third states, which was recently updated, forms part of this chapter.

The mechanisms for reviewing judgments in civil cases should include additional guarantees to ensure the implementation of the right of appeal, conditioned by the specificity of the court decision, which will serve as the subject of verification. There is a need to establish implementation peculiarities of the right of appeal, as well as the procedures for revising court decisions made in lawsuits against a large group of persons, an indefinite number of persons that are not defined by the current civil procedural law. It has been substantiated the necessity to fix on a legislative level the two-step procedure for implementation of the right of appeal of judicial decisions on such claims. The exercise of the right to appeal depends on the knowledge of the decision on the case by the court of the first instance, as well as the direct involvement of the participant in the process. Particular significance has got the commission of these actions in relation to potential participants of the case. It has been established that the implementation of the right of appeal against the decision on these types of claims will facilitate the creation of options called «Claims for a large group of people», «Claims for an uncertain circle of persons» on the official web site of the judiciary. It was determined that informing the participants of the case, their representatives about the opening of appeal proceedings is important for the possibility of exercising the right to review court decisions in the court of appellate instance, and the use in this regard of procedural opportunities provided by law. It was established that excluding the representative from the participants of the case, the legislator did not regulate properly all procedural aspects of his participation in the process, the exercise of his procedural rights, and performance of duties. There is no clear timetable for the court of appellate instance to determine the issue whether the court decision of the court of first instance concerns the rights, freedoms, interests and / or duties of a person if it was not examined in the trial by the court of first instance and who filed a complaint, as well as the procedural form of its examination. It is necessary to consolidate the possibility to close the appeal proceedings in a case and the possibility to close proceedings against a specific appeal. Preparation of a case for an appeal on a complaint to a court decision on a suit against a significant group of persons should be marked according to its specifics. For this type of claim, it is necessary to change its procedural form in order to hold the preparatory meeting and foresee the necessity of preparing a panel of three judges. The preparatory meeting will expand the procedural capabilities of the participants and their representatives.

The article reveals the problem of appealing against the decision of the investigating judge, the court on sending a person to a medical institution for a psychiatric assessment, in particular: a) it is stated that sending a person to a medical institution for assessment is a form of restriction of his or her constitutional right to liberty, which is equivalent to detention. It is proposed to amend the Criminal Procedure Code (hereinafter – the CPC), which provides for the right to a separate appeal against a court decision on sending a person to a medical institution for assessment, decided in court before the court decision on the merits. The lack of possibility to appeal against such a court decision creates a potential danger of illegal restriction of a person’s constitutional right to liberty and security during their placement in a medical institution for the inpatient forensic psychiatric assessment (hereinafter – the IFPA), which violates the essence of the right to judicial protection; b) it is proved that the decision of the investigating judge, the court to send a person to a medical institution for the IFPA may limit not only the rights of the suspect, accused, but thus also affect the legitimate interests of others who do not have procedural status in criminal proceedings. It is determined the expediency of granting the right to appeal the said court decision to the victim and other persons whose interests it concerns; c) it is noted that the mechanism of prolongation of the term of the IFPA is not regulated in the domestic criminal procedural law, however judges continue it in the absence of a legislative basis. Therefore, it is expressed the scientific position on the rationality of appealing not only the decision of the investigating judge, but also the court’s decision to extend the term for sending a person to a medical institution for assessment.

Continuing the study of specialization of Russian civil procedural law, the author, based on the invariable perspective of its action, namely: a standardized court procedure of civil proceedings in administration of justice in a certain civil case and protection of the right, dwells on certain issues of its structural and functional characteristics — classification of procedural norms, mechanism of procedural regulation, mechanism of procedural legal relationship, etc. Through the context of the principle of dispositiveness, when clarifying the scope of its action and content as the legal beginning of legal proceedings (its leading element is the right to trial leading to the interaction of substantive and procedural law in the course of judicial protection of the right), the author analyzes and reveals the content, substantiates connections and relations between various interdisciplinary phenomena of law (a claim, the right to claim, etc.). The latest jurisprudence illustrates the importance of the conceptual legal apparatus for the development of legal science, law and improvement of its implementation in the Russian legal order.
