The article is devoted to the analysis of the procedural order of consideration and resolution of cases related to the change of an individual’s legal status, namely - recognition of an individual incompetent. The article analyzes the updated procedure for declaring an individual incompetent. The author of the article draws attention to the fact that the legislator has expanded the range of litigants in this type of proceedings; has provided for the possibility of direct participation of the person in respect of whom the proceedings for recognition of his/ her incompetence were initiated, both in-person and his/ her participation in the case through a videoconference from the medical institution where such person is at that moment; has set the terms of the court decision on declaring an individual incompetent, for not more than two years; has granted the right to certain entities to apply for an extension of the decision declaring an individual incompetent, which may be filed no later than fifteen days before the end of two years; has granted a person who was declared incompetent the right to apply to the court with a request to cancel the court decision, etc.It is noted that the validity of a court decision declaring an individual incompetent, which is provided by law, requires certain clarifications. It is substantiated that the obligatory appointment of a forensic psychiatric examination during the consideration of the case and to confirm the request for extension of the decision validity also requires some clarification, depending on the individual’s state of disease. The author considers the views of scholars and practitioners regarding mandatory participation in the consideration of an individual’s incompetence cases and the cancellation of a court decision on such cases - a lawyer who will provide adequate judicial protection and effective civil proceedings. It is concluded that it is expedient to expand the range of entities authorized to initiate the issue of revoking a court decision declaring an individual incompetent, supplementing them with such a participant as a prosecutor, which in turn will guarantee access to court, promote fair judicial protection of rights, freedoms, and interests of the persons, making a lawful and reasonable decision.

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.

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.

An analysis of the amendments made to the Constitution of the Russian Federation in 2020 made it possible to conclude that the provisions concerning the judicial protection of fundamental human and civil rights and freedoms are stable. The role and content of the legal regulation of the participation of the prosecutor in the implementation on behalf of certain participants in civil proceedings of this right emphasizes the specifics of his procedural position. At the same time, the existence in the legal doctrine and in law enforcement practice of various positions that determine the legal status of the prosecutor in the exercise of the constitutional right to judicial protection, and the lack of a unified approach to resolving this issue give rise to constant interest in this problem. In this study, through the prism of analyzing the content of the procedural rights and duties of the prosecutor, the grounds for the implementation by the prosecutor of constitutional guarantees for protecting the interests of society and the state protected by law, the determinism of his legal status in civil proceedings is substantiated.

The aim of the article is to investigate the legal status of non-Muslim communities in the Ottoman Empire. The author concluded that the sources of Islamic law, including the Koran and Islamic legal doctrine, formed the basis of the legal system of the Ottoman Empire, recognized the equality of people regardless of their racial, ethnic or religious affiliation. Non-Muslim subjects of the Ottoman Empire guaranteed the right to life, security of person and property, freedom of religion, freedom of economic activity, the right to judicial protection and protection against external enemies. However, the scope of rights and duties of citizens depend on their religious affiliation. The Ottoman Empire was essentially theocratic state, where Islam is the state religion and regularly held a dominant position among the other denominations. Served non-Muslim were somewhat limited in their rights: they could not come to the state, including military service, which does not allow us to talk about full equality of all subjects of the Ottoman Empire, regardless of religion.

Abstract. The article is devoted to analysis of the effectiveness of the main procedural legal and financial (banking) mechanisms designed to ensure the protection of property rights’ immunity. The legally regulated procedures of such protection are analyzed on platforms — both procedural and legal as well as financial and economic. There is no doubt that only in a state where the immunity of property is declared and guaranteed to the person can be provided the development of economic, intellectual, socially oriented activities. The effect of the principle of immunity of property rights is not absolute, but its restrictions are possible only on the grounds and in the manner prescribed by law. The topicality of the inviolability of property rights is due to the role of law as a platform for citizens’ property independence and their participation in the processes of social reproduction. The guarantee of property independence is the right of ownership of property and non-property rights, which is realized by giving a person the right to freely, unimpededly, and fully exercise the rights of the owner of personal property. The compliance of the inviolability of property rights during criminal proceedings is not properly ensured in the current CPC (The Criminal Procedure Code) of Ukraine; in particular, the movement of confiscated property is not regulated, which questions the novelty of inviolability. To improve the procedure for the protection of property rights, this is necessary to regulate at the legislative level the mechanism of protection and restoration of property rights of persons victimized by criminal offenses. The etymology of «inviolability» guarantees by law the protection of the status of the person from any encroachment. Inviolability in the economic and legal context is mainly understood as a person’s legal status, which is an unalterable guarantee against unauthorized restrictions by the state institutions — law enforcement, financial, court, and individuals and legal entities. An attempt is made to accumulate most of the latest achievements (both legislative, theoretically investigative and applied) on the issues of legal regulation of the studied financial and legal relations, based on which scientific views are substantiated, and proposals are developed to improve regulations in this area. The main vectors of economic and legal mechanisms for the protection of the inviolability of property rights, which would correlate with generally accepted European and world standards, have been identified. Keywords: the inviolability of property rights, property rights, principles of proceedings, judicial protection, seizure of property, financial guarantee, financial risks.

The authors point to the plurality of forms of consumer protection. Private law form of consumer protection is individual protection in civil proceedings. The protection of the collective interests of consumers in most European legal systems is achieved through litigation. The Consumer Protection Act entrusts the protection of the collective interests of consumers to administrative bodies, which is realized in administrative proceedings, whose rules are characterized by considerable differences in relation to the rules provided by the Law on General Administrative Procedure. A significant unit is dedicated to the mechanism of alternative dispute resolution, especially arbitration and mediation. The shortcomings of the Law on Consumer Protection regarding certain contradictory provisions are pointed out. The legislator stimulates alternative dispute resolution, and on the other hand stipulates that contracting one of these methods does not affect the right to judicial protection. The paper also analyses the inspection.

The article is devoted to revealing the peculiarities of objective truth as the purpose of judicial proof, to determine perspective directions of further development of this concept in the doctrine of civil procedural law. It is determined that the current case law is characterized by an assessment of the evidence by the approach or standard of proof «beyond reasonable doubt», in which the circumstance is considered established, if another explanation of the collected evidence is extremely unlikely. It is pointed out that the typical constituents of the subject of proving in the narrow sense it is advisable to determine: 1) the circumstances of the justification of the requirements; 2) circumstances of substantiation of objections; 3) which must be reflected in the court decision. The composition of such circumstances may change during the hearing of the case, and therefore the precise determination of the subject of proof in a particular case is only possible as of the specific course of its consideration. It is asserted about the value by the legislator to outline the range of circumstances that are part of the subject of proof: confirm the stated requirements or objections (or have other significance for the case); combining this with another mandatory feature: to be established when making a court decision. After all, it does not make sense to prove circumstances that will not be reflected in the court decision in connection with the claims or objections. On the other hand, the court decision must reflect all the circumstances that are important for resolving the issue before the court (dispute over the right, procedural issue, etc.). It is stated that true knowledge as the purpose of judicial knowledge is characterized by a combination of the following features: 1) aimed at reflecting the real circumstances of the case; 2) achieved by applying the appropriate, that is provided for procedural law, methods; 3) properly, that is in the manner provided by the procedural law, justified. It is determined that the relation between objective truth and relative (judicial, formal, legal) truth is expressed in the following two theses: 1) the court’s obligation to strive to establish the true circumstances of the case (objective truth), but at the same time proceed from the existing procedural opportunities; 2) the time of existence of procedural formalism as an independent value goes back to the past, including at the level of legislative proposals. Keywords: objective truth, litigation, civil proceedings, court, competition.

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.

This article is devoted to the study of the theoretical and scientific-practical nature of the institution of representation in the EU countries and the development of proposals based on them on improving the legal status of a lawyer in Ukraine, taking into account the best European practice. The place of the advocacy in the modern legal system can be characterized as one of the ways of self-restraint of state power through the creation and functioning of an independent human rights institution that promotes its activities by fulfilling the constitutional function of the state – the realization and protection of human rights and freedoms. The constitutional and legal status allows advocates to participate in ensuring the rights not only of everyone, but of the whole civil society, to implement the human rights function, ensuring the interaction in the activity of the institutional systems of the state and civil society. Since 2012, the advocacy reform has been initiated and brought to the standards of the European Union. However, over 6 years have passed, but no significant positive changes have taken place in this field. Ensuring the constitutional rights and freedoms of citizens still leaves much to be desired. The issue of voluntary admission of lawyers to the National Association of Advocates of Ukraine will be resolved, and so-called "lawyer's monopoly" needs to be substantially revised. Therefore, the review of the grounds, the rules, and the regularity of the prosecution in civil proceedings, which is carried out by the two advocates, needs a substantial improvement. In order to create in Ukraine the model of legal assistance taking into account modern legal frameworks, that is a guarantee of the right of accessibility and effectiveness of judicial protection in civil proceedings.

The article presents objections to the arguments set out in article «Revisiting an issue of mandatory assignment of complex forensic psychological and psychiatric examination of legal capability: pro arguments» by P.Yu. Kantor in favor of legislative recognition of mandatory complex forensic psychological and psychiatric examination of legal capability in the case of adjudge a citizen incapable due to mental disorder. From the point of view of the theory and methodology of complex forensic psychological and psychiatric examination, the authors inappropriately constrict competence limits of forensic psychiatrists and ignore the possibility and the need to integrate medical and psychological knowledge in forensics. P. Yu. Kantor’s theses about the total dominance of psychiatric examinations in civil proceedings and a painful and humiliating for subject forensic psychiatric examination in Russia are objectionable. The present paper shows negative organizational and legal consequences of this legal norm and proposes a wide interdisciplinary discussion on the problem.
