The article is devoted to the subject of admissibility of the consideration and resolution of the case by the court by video call using the WhatsApp messenger. This study is relevant in view of the presence of common problems of legal regulation of procedural rights and obligations that are implemented by various participants in legal proceedings in electronic form. In order to form a comprehensive understanding of e-justice and e-justice, general scientific and private law (historical-legal, formal-legal, comparative-legal) methods are used. The question is being examined whether the court’s decision, taken as a result of the consideration of the case by video call using the WhatsApp messenger, is a procedural act, which was decided in a well-known procedural form. It is substantiated that such a decision is any other law enforcement document, but not a procedural one, since, as a general rule, for remote participation in a court session of all interested parties, only video-conferencing systems of the courts at the place of residence, stay or location of these persons are used. It is concluded that in order to transform the existing order of participation in the court session by means of video-conferencing, it is necessary to make amendments and additions to the current procedural law, allowing the presence of interested subjects anywhere outside the court, thereby legitimizing such a procedure.

The modern science of civil procedural law is experiencing a new stage of understanding the institution of the parties, which is associated with the study of the principle of balance of civil procedural law. The basis of non-priority participation in the process of the plaintiff and the defendant determines the legislative regulation of the institution of the parties. This rule should be considered as one of the manifestations of a fair trial, as it is a manifestation of the balance of interests of the parties during the proceedings. In the spirit of this principle, it is proposed to improve the procedures for involving accomplices and replacing an improper party in civil proceedings. The principle of the balance of civil procedural legal relations is, first, that the amount of legal interest of the subject of the process is directly proportional to the scope of his procedural rights. Thus, the purpose of civil process - restoration of the broken right is reached. Meanwhile, the legislator does not always manage to comply with the relevant legal regulations. In particular, the rules relating to the institution of procedural complicity and replacement of the improper party. The mistake of the legislative regulation of this mechanism is, in our opinion, a misunderstanding of the principle of equality of arms: the court cannot involve the co-plaintiff, and therefore cannot involve the co-defendant. The different nature of the institutions of the plaintiff and the defendant does not allow the same approach to legal regulation. This inequality is compensated by other principles, rules and institutions of civil procedural law. But the starting point is that at the beginning of the case the plaintiff attacks, initiates the process, and the defendant is involved in the process. Keywords: civil process, parties of civil process, principle of balance, legal anthropology, procedural complicity, replacement of improper party.

The study puts forward the thesis that the basis for the allocation of structural subdivisions of civil procedural law is mainly the subject of legal regulation. The complex internal structure of the system of this branch of law is due primarily to the diversity of civil procedural relations that constitute the subject of regulation of this branch of law. The work reveals the essential features of the concept of “system of civil procedural law”, defines the grounds for its structural subdivisions and their composition, gives the definition of this category. In particular, the author has formulated the idea that the system of civil procedural law is an internally coordinated set of civil procedural rules, institutions and other relatively independent structural subdivisions of this branch of law, naturally interconnected into a single whole due to the unity of civil procedural relations. Also in this study the point of view is expressed that each level of the system, as well as the entire system of civil procedural law as a whole, is characterized not only by typical features of its constituent elements, but also by their typical, regular relationships that constitute its structure.

The article deals with the issues of legal regulation and the actual implementation of the procedures for appealing against the actions of officials carrying out operative-investigative activity. It is noted that there is uncertainty in the choice of the type of legal proceedings (criminal or administrative) also as a level of the court for such complaints (court of the subject of the Russian Federation or district court). Another problem is related to the actual assignment responsibility for the plaintiffs to substantiate complaints about covert operative-investigative measures which, as a rule, leads to a refusal to consider them. The authors are invited to introduce a universal appeal procedure in the framework of administrative proceedings. The secret nature of the operative-investigative activity does not allow the plaintiff to fully substantiate the essence of his claims, so this task may be performed by the court. In order to preserve information constituting a state secret, it is necessary to introduce a closed procedure for dealing with such complaints.

Introduction: the development of the latest information and telecommunication technologies used in the civil law sphere transforms the understanding and application of tort liability for damage caused by a source of increased danger. The identified mechanism requires a scientific analysis to determine the essential changes in the institution of a source of increased danger. The implementation of activities related to the sources of increased danger implies the presence of a threat of harm to the subjects of law. To ensure the greatest protection of subjects, digital technologies are used. The purpose of the study: to determine the characteristics of the concept “owner of a source of increased danger”, to consider the impact of digital technologies on the institution of a source of increased danger. Methods: general method; general scientific method (logical (induction, deduction, analysis, synthesis), system); private law (formal legal, comparative legal). Results: the content of the concept “owner of the source of increased danger”is revealed. The problem of lack of transparency of information about the owner of the vehicle, its causes and consequences is raised. Considered the actual use of digital technologies today in this area and proposed ways to develop the protection of subjects of law from the possibility of illegal actions. Conclusions: the characteristics of the basic concept of “owner of a source of increased danger” are defined, the influence of digital technologies on the institution of a source of increased danger is considered. It is revealed that the identification of the concepts “owner of the source of increased danger” and “owner of the property” can lead to a mixture of proprietary relations and non-contractual obligations, requiring their specific legal regulation. The analysis of the new electronic title is carried out, as well as the further prospects of its development are revealed. The approximate list of data necessary for safety of the subject which enters the legal relationship connected with use by the vehicle is specified.

Применение принудительных мер медицинского характера в стационарных условиях влечет за собой изоляцию психически больного лица от общества посредством помещения его в психиатрический стационар на заранее не определенный срок. Применение данной меры связано с существенными ограничениями прав и свобод граждан, а потому требует четкой правовой регламентации. Предметом рассмотрения настоящей статьи стали вопросы правового регулирования порядка установления и обеспечения лечебно-охранительного режима психиатрического стационара, исполняющего принудительное лечение. В процессе работы над статьей были использованы как общенаучные (анализ, синтез), так и частнонаучные (формально-юридический, логико-языковой, статистические) методы, позволившие провести комплексный анализ категории «лечебно-охранительный режим» применительно к принудительным мерам медицинского характера. Исследование показало, что предусмотренные действующим уголовным законом типы психиатрических стационаров, исполняющих принудительное лечение, различаются между собой условиями пребывания в них психически больных лиц. Необходимость установления различных условий пребывания обусловлена, в свою очередь, разной степенью общественной опасности лиц, которым назначено принудительное лечение. Лечебно-охранительный режим устанавливает порядок пребывания лиц в отделениях для принудительного лечения и создает наиболее оптимальные и безопасные условия для лечения указанных лиц. С учетом представленных в статье выводов автором обосновывается позиция о необходимости закрепления в законе понятия лечебно-охранительного режима психиатрического стационара, исполняющего принудительные меры медицинского характера, а также необходимость разработки и принятия типовых правил внутреннего распорядка, определяющих особенности лечебно-охранительного режима в зависимости от типов психиатрических стационаров. The use of compulsory medical measures in stationary conditions entails the isolation of a mentally ill person from society by placing him in a psychiatric hospital for an indefinite period. The application of this measure has special restrictions on the rights and freedoms of people, and therefore requires clear legal regulation. The subject of this article is the issues of legal regulation of the procedure for establishing and ensuring the medical-protective regime of a psychiatric hospital performing compulsory treatment. In the process of work on the article there were used both general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis) and private scientific methods (formal-legal, logical-language, statistical), which made it possible to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the category "medical-protective regime" in relation to compulsory medical measures. The study showed that the types of psychiatric hospitals that perform compulsory treatment differ among themselves in the conditions of stay of mentally ill persons in them. The need to establish different conditions is due, in turn, to the different degree of social danger of persons who are assigned compulsory treatment. The medical-protection regime establishes the procedure for the stay of persons in departments for compulsory treatment and creates the most optimal and safe conditions for the treatment of these persons. Taking into account the conclusions presented in the article, the author substantiates the position concerning the necessity to consolidate in the law the concept of a medical-protective regime of a psychiatric hospital, performing compulsory medical measures. It is also necessary to develop and adopt standard internal regulations that determine the features of the medical-protective regime, depending on the types of psychiatric hospitals.

The subject of this article was one of the fundamental and debatable provisions of the doctrine of civil procedural law - its subject. The author on the basis of the analysis of scientific sources, the legislation carried out the retrospective analysis of formation and development of scientific thought concerning definition of a subject of civil procedural law. The paper identifies two main approaches to understanding the subject of the industry and elements of its structure. Analyzing the "narrow" approach to defining the subject of civil procedural law and certain areas of its coverage in the works of scholars, the author substantiates the position on the relationship between procedural activities and social relations that arise between the court and the parties. Particular attention is paid to the history of inclusion in the subject of civil procedural law enforcement proceedings. The author's position on the subject and system of civil procedural law is substantiated. The essence of the "broad" approach to the definition of the subject of the industry by including in its structure of non-jurisdictional forms of legal protection is revealed. The essence of two opposite tendencies in scientific researches concerning structure of a subject of civil procedural law is revealed: the first tendency is reduced to expansion of a subject at the expense of inclusion in it of economic procedural law, at ignoring independent character of this branch of law; the second - the narrowing of the subject of civil procedural law by removing from its structure of enforcement proceedings, the relations arising in the consideration of labor cases. The connection between the definition of the subject of civil procedural law and the jurisdiction of the court defined in the legislation is substantiated. It is proved that the tendency to narrow the subject of civil procedural law was embodied in the legislation of the country as a result of judicial reform in 2016, which led to conflicts in legislation and problems in law enforcement. Based on the theoretical model of determining the subject of legal regulation and using the analogy of determining its structure, the elements of the structure of the subject of civil procedural law are distinguished and its definition is formulated.

Предмет исследования - уголовно-исполнительное законодательство стран постсоветского пространства. В научной статье применялись следующие методы исследования: общенаучные - анализ и синтез, системно-структурный, формально-логический и частнонаучные - сравнительно-правовой, лингвистический, аксиологический. Исследование проведено по ряду критериев (параметров), отражающих различные аспекты права осужденных на прогулку. К числу таковых отнесены: локализация законодательного закрепления рассматриваемого права, взаимосвязь прогулок с физическими упражнениями на открытом воздухе, продолжительность прогулок, время и место их проведения, увеличение времени прогулок в качестве меры поощрения, а также возможность досрочного прекращения прогулки в случае нарушения осужденным установленных правил. Получены следующие результаты исследования - краеугольные элементы права осужденных на прогулки в УИК и КИН стран СНГ, основанные на положениях Модельного Уголовно-исполнительного кодекса СНГ, и, за исключением Исполнительного кодекса Молдовы, фактически идентичны. Напротив, регламентация прогулок в кодексах (законах) других трех стран постсоветского пространства (Грузии, Латвии и Эстонии) разительно отличается как от норм кодексов стран СНГ, так и друг от друга. Отдельные положения УИК и КИН стран постсоветского пространства заслуживают внимания и дополнительного изучения на предмет включения их в УИК РФ. К таким аспектам относятся: включение в число основных прав осужденных права на занятие физической культурой и спортом, а также возможность физических упражнений на открытом воздухе во время прогулок; установление в качестве общего правила для всех категорий осужденных, включая нарушителей, гарантированной минимальной продолжительности прогулки. The subject of the study is the penal legislation of the post-Soviet countries. The following research methods were used in this article: general scientific such as analysis and synthesis, systemic-structural, formal-logical and specific scientific - comparative-legal, linguistic, axiological. The study was conducted on several criteria (parameters), reflecting various aspects of the right of convicts to walk. Among these are: localization of the statutory recognition of this right, the relationship between walking and physical exercises in the open air, the duration of the walks, the time and place of their holding, the increase in the time of walking as an incentive, and the possibility of early termination of the walk in case of violation of the established rules by convicts. The following research results were obtained - principal points of the right of convicts to walk in penal institutions of the CIS are based on the provisions of the CIS Model Correctional Code, and, except for the Moldovan Executive Code, are virtually identical. On the contrary, the regulation of walks in the Codes (laws) of the other three countries of the post-Soviet territory (Georgia, Latvia, and Estonia) is very different from the CIS Codes and each other. Certain provisions of Correctional Codes of post-Soviet countries deserve attention and additional study as possible additions to the Correctional Code of the Russian Federation. Such aspects include the inclusion of the right to physical exercise as the basic right of convicts, as well as the possibility of physical exercises in the open air during walks; a guaranteed minimum duration of the walk for all categories of convicts, including violators, as a general rule.
