The study deals with the peculiarities of the status of participants in civil proceedings in the Ukrainian Cossack state, as well as the main groups of evidence used in Ukrainian courts in accordance with contemporary sources of law, which contained procedural rules and were used by courts. It is noted that due to the historical political situation in the Hetmanate, sources of Polish and Lithuanian law (for example, Lithuanian statutes), hetman's powers, Russian law were used on its lands, and traditionally for a long time customary law, Cossack customary law. Characteristic features of the civil process, which began orally or in writing, were considered. The parties could be men from 18 and women from 14. In the Hetmanate there was an institution of representation of the party as a defender and lawyer, as well as parents or relatives. It is stated that procedural legal capacity did not extend to slaves, persons deprived of honor, excommunicated, exiles, and procedural legal capacity was not possessed by children, mentally ill, deaf or dumb, women who did not have a husband or guardian, and minors (men up to 18 years and women up to 14 years). The norms of the Lithuanian Statute of 1588 concerning the status of the party's representative, his role in the process, the grounds on which a person could not become a party's representative (court employee, clergyman's representative) are revealed. The main groups of evidence are covered, namely the personal testimony of the parties (in which the testimony of a person who had a higher legal status than the other party in court was considered more reliable), the testimony of witnesses, the conditions under which a person cannot be a witness, categories of witnesses ordinary and official), features of the use of religious oath as evidence, the involvement of written documents.

Judicial capacity consists in the transposing of substantive law subjectivity to proceedings under civil law in a form allowing valid proceedings closing with a judgment, said proceedings involving the participation of a specific entity. A party without capacity for the status of specific subjective rights or legal relationship cannot expect to participate in a valid trial closing with a judgment. Three categories of entities with general legal capacity – private individuals (natural persons), legal persons, and organisational units as stipulated by provisions of Article 64 §11 of the Civil Proceedings Code – have been equipped with judicial capacity, as they can be party to legal relations constituting the subject of action. The participation of such entities in proceedings under civil law – while potentially concerning any case – shall only apply to cases under civil law wherein entities as duly indicated act to protect their legal circumstances associated with events potentially occurring prior to the commencement of judicial proceedings. They should only appear as parties in civil cases involving their activities on their own behalf and to their own benefit.

What I propose in the present article are some theoretical adjustments for a more coherent answer to the legal “status question” of artificial intelligence (AI) systems. I arrive at those by using the new “bundle theory” of legal personhood, together with its accompanying conceptual and methodological apparatus as a lens through which to look at a recent such answer inspired from German civil law and named Teilrechtsfähigkeit or partial legal capacity. I argue that partial legal capacity is a possible solution to the status question only if we understand legal personhood according to this new theory. Conversely, I argue that if indeed Teilrechtsfähigkeit lends itself to being applied to AI systems, then such flexibility further confirms the bundle theory paradigm shift. I then go on to further analyze and exploit the particularities of Teilrechtsfähigkeit to inform a reflection on the appropriate conceptual shape of legal personhood and suggest a slightly different answer from the bundle theory framework in what I term a “gradient theory” of legal personhood.

The article is devoted to the classification of participants in civil proceedings, it also touches on some issues of classification of participants in the commercial judicial proceedings and administrative judicial proceedings. Using logical methods of cognition: analysis, synthesis, deduction and induction, General scientific and special scientific methods and techniques knowledge of social phenomena and processes: historical, comparative, system-structural and others, the author concludes that the generally accepted classification of civil process participants is imperfect; based on the study of classification criteria, he proposes to identify new categories of participants in the process, to legislate their rights and obligations, to clarify their names. The author reveals the imperfection of some norms of the Civil Procedural Code of the Russian Federation and Code of Administrative Judicial Procedure of the Russian Federation, justifies the need to change them. The relevance of the research topic is justified by the fact that the new procedural legislation sometimes does not fully take into account the classification of participants in the process, which determines the status of the participant, the scope of his procedural rights and obligations, and this is directly related to the constitutional guarantees of protection of rights, freedoms and interests.

For a long time, Crimea has been the place of a permanent ethnopolitical political conflict controlled from the outside, one of the components of which is the confrontation between the Russians, as an ethnic group and the other Slavic population of Crimea, on the one hand, and the Tatars of Crimea, on behalf of whom the extremist banned in Russia is trying to speak structure «kurultai-mejlis». The argumentation of the hypothesis designed to confirm the myth about the national (Tatar) character of the Crimean ASSR is presented. The analysis of argumentation suggests that the hypothesis is not supported by convincing evidence. More weighty should be considered the point of view that the Crimean Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic in 1921–1945. was multinational-territorial autonomy. The discussion in Ukraine of the topic of changing the status of Crimea, turning it into national Tatar autonomy is carried out by the leaders and functionaries of the extremist organization «kurultai-mejlis» in the framework of the anti-Russian propaganda flow controlled from abroad and exploits the analyzed myth as the historical basis of its claims.

Modern legal and judicial practice is constantly faced with problems of shortage of judges and as a result there is a big amount of unresolved cases in civil proceedings. This trend is observed from year to year. This problem is closely related to the fact that due to the insufficient number of judges in some courts of Ukraine, the process of providing legal aid by different groups of subjects is significantly complicated due to the actual impossibility of implementing proceedings in a particular court. Moreover, in Ukraine there are cases when there are no judges in the courts who have the power to administer justice. In this regard, in this research, the author is trying to examine the situation of legal aid cases in civil proceedings, taking into account statistics on the number of judges in Ukraine and the number of civil cases considered by courts in recent years. It is seemed that providing a legal aid in civil proceedings depends not only on the professional skills of the representative. It depends on the legal environment where it is provided. This is due to the fact that, for example, due to the absence of judges in a particular court, a lawyer cannot provide other types of legal aid, except drawing up and filing a statement of claim. For example, this may be the case in a family case where persons have filed a lawsuit for divorce at the place of residence, but due to the absence of judges in court, the case cannot be considered. Because of this: 1) representatives (including lawyers) cannot provide the legal aid in the court proceedings; 2) the parties in such case will have to wait a long time, when a judge will be appointed to the case. In recent years, legal aid in the civil process of Ukraine has become increasingly in demand. For the full implementation of legal aid in civil cases in Ukraine, it is necessary that persons who provide it, constantly further training, improve professional skills and abilities.

The question of the purpose and functions of the participation of the prosecutor in the civil process is relevant, since the idea of them helps to increase the efficiency of his activities. This article is devoted to a comprehensive study of the possibility of applying foreign experience in the prosecutor's participation in institution development in Kazakhstan civil procedure. The article used both general scientific methods of cognition – logical, analysis, and synthesis – and private scientific methods – formal legal, system analysis. It analysed the various points of view on the issue of the legal status and functions of the participation of the prosecutor in the civil process. The scientific novelty is determined by the fact that functions describe the procedural status of the subjects of civil procedure, allowing the streamlining of the multilateral procedural activities of state bodies, officials and other persons involved in civil proceedings.

This article examines the approach of legal science and law enforcement to the issue of abuse of rights. The authors emphasize that the reform of procedural legislation in the first two decades of the 21st century corresponds to the tendencies of internationalization of the civil process, within the framework of which the principle of accessibility of justice in its true understanding as a legal value is concretized. In this sense, the authors state that the abuse of the right to sue is one of the most important problems of civil procedural law, requiring a solution in order to increase the fairness and efficiency of national legal proceedings. The analysis of a passive procedural position is carried out in the path of abuse of law. The authors acknowledge that, in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, the need to severely punish dishonesty of the parties in court in order to promote good faith in civil proceedings is a response to the established jurisprudence. In addition, this article draws attention to the fact that the most important problems today are related to the improvement of mechanisms for encouraging the execution of procedural laws and rules of civil proceedings, and not just the system of punishment for dishonest behavior. This formulation of the practical problem determines the research methodology. According to the authors, the solution of serious problems associated with the dishonesty of the parties should be based not only on a theoretical (and monistic) approach, but on a pluralistic and communicative approach. And in this sense, this study is new. This article concludes that the failure of the procedural theory in the study of the phenomenon of abuse of rights and the explanation of conscientiousness in the civil proceedings is a fact of scientific development, subject to methodological research — a methodological assessment of this fact; the question arises about the essence of the phenomenon; special purposes of civil procedure — the directions of development of procedural law inevitably give rise to their own legal interpretations, in particular, this is observed in the case of assessing the good faith in the judicial proceedings for purposes of other branches of law.

Introduction. For a long time, legal science has been discussing the understanding of a legal entity, its characteristics, its relationship with a citizen, as well as other associations of citizens and legal entities. The question of the combination of material and procedural principles in the figure of a legal entity is ambiguous. Theoretical Basis. Methods. The article was prepared using general scientific methods (systemic, logical) and special legal methods (comparative legal, formal legal). Results. The legal status of a legal entity as a participant in civil proceedings is based on the same principles and norms of law as those of a citizen. At the same time, a legal entity is a real organisation that acquires and exercises rights and assumes responsibilities through its bodies. In the context of the introduction of digital technologies into the activities of a legal entity, it is advisable to consider a legal entity as a legal device, consisting of certain elements, the main of which are civil rights and obligations that regulate the legal behavior of a legal entity. Discussion and Сonclusion. A legal entity acts in court as a plaintiff and a defendant, performing actions when there is a procedural form of violated or disputed rights. Since legal assistance to a legal entity can now be provided by persons who have documents of a higher legal education or a scientific degree in a legal specialty, it would be advisable to allow such a representative in a court session to decide for himself the choice of performing the procedural actions indicated in Part 2 of Art. 62 of the Code of Arbitration Procedure of the Russian Federation, if there is such a clause in the power of attorney.
