The peculiarities of appellate proceedings as an independent stage of economic litigation are considered, which include the following: a) an appeal is filed against a decision of a court of first instance that has not entered into force; b) review of court decisions on appeal is carried out by the courts of appeal; c) the right to appeal has the participants, as well as persons who did not participate in the case, if the court has decided on their rights, interests and (or) responsibilities; d) the appeal is filed directly with the court of appeal; e) the subject of review of the case by the court of appellate instance is the verification of the legality and validity of the decision of the court of first instance; f) the limits of review of the case in the court of appeal, as a rule, are limited by the arguments and requirements of the appeal; g) in the court of appellate instance cases are reviewed according to the rules of consideration of cases in the order of simplified claim proceedings, taking into account the features provided by the Code.

The research featured the issues of legal regulation and exclusion of evidence claimed in the court of first instance in criminal procedure. The author analyzed the legislative regulation of the procedure for the application and consideration of petitions for the exclusion of evidence, as well as some practical issues of petitions for the exclusion of evidence. The procedure for the application and consideration of petitions for the exclusion of evidence is not fully regulated by the legislator. The Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation focuses on the stage of preliminary hearing, while on the merits procedure remains unsettled. The exclusion of evidence in a preliminary hearing prevents defective evidence from entering the trial. Repeated applications should be seen as an alternative to the institute of appeal, since a re-application of the petitions allows the parties to express their opinion on the decision and provide new evidence in support of their position. The resolution of the issue of the admissibility of evidence cannot be postponed to the stage of the verdict, since this contradicts the legal nature of the institution of excluding unacceptable evidence and its purposes. The author proposes to include application rules for the exclusion of evidence in the Code of Criminal Procedure at the stage of judicial investigation. The results of the present study contribute to the issue of inadmissible evidence.
