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

В представленной статье кратко раскрывается смысл понятия такого явления, как принцип гражданского процессуального права, а также дана классификация принципов, уже существующих и утвердившихся в теории гражданского процесса. Авторы работы предприняли попытку разработать новую классификацию принципов гражданского судопроизводства, отличную от общепринятой, в которой ключевым фактором выступает субъект, которому эти принципы адресованы по своему содержанию. По результатам проведенного исследования выделены субъекты, которым адресованы действия этих принципов: адресованные только суду; адресованные только лицам, участвующим в деле; - адресованные всем субъектам гражданского судопроизводства в целом (общие). Можно вполне обосновано сказать, что новая классификация принципов гражданского процесса, в зависимости от субъекта имеет право на существование. The presented article briefly reveals the meaning of the concept of such a phenomenon as the principle of civil procedural law, and also gives a classification of the principles that already exist and are established in the theory of civil procedure. The authors of the work attempted to develop a new classification of the principles of civil proceedings, different from the generally accepted one, in which the key factor is the subject to whom these principles are addressed in their content. According to the results of the study, the subjects to whom the actions of these principles are addressed: addressed only to the court; addressed only to persons participating in the case; - addressed to all subjects of civil proceedings in general (general). It can be reasonably said that the new classification of the principles of civil procedure, depending on the subject, has the right to exist.

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.

Resumo: O estudo objetiva a demonstração da teoria das dimensões dos direitos fundamentais como pressuposto à consagração de garantias fundamentais processuais. Para atingir tal intento foi utilizado o método da revisão bibliográfica, notadamente da doutrina constitucional, bem como do estudo de casos trazidos a debate por autores que analisam o processo sob a ótica da Constituição. A relevância do assunto deve-se ao momento atual da ciência jurídica em que a efetividade dos direitos fundamentais é um escopo concreto. Constatou-se a necessidade de tornar eficiente e efetiva a prestação jurisdicional no Estado constitucional e de reconhecer as garantias processuais como direitos fundamentais. Em tal contexto, a eficácia irradiante, a filtragem constitucional e a multifuncionalidade dos direitos fundamentais são abordados. E as balizas teóricas do neoconstitucionalismo e do neoprocessualismo ou formalismo-valorativo são analisadas como pano de fundo das noções desenvolvidas. Assim, a verificação da evolução dos direitos fundamentais processuais, mormente do direito de ação (tutela jurisdicional efetiva) e do devido processo legal (processo justo), a partir da aceitação da teoria das dimensões dos direitos fundamentais, conduz à conclusão de que se caminha na direção de um acesso cada vez mais efetivo à justiça. Palavras-chave: Normas Jusfundamentais; Direito à Proteção; Direito Processual; Conformação do Procedimento; Devido Processo Legal.  Abstract: The study aims at demonstrating the theory of dimensions of fundamental rights as an assumption to the recognition of fundamental procedural guarantees. In order to accomplish this intent the method of bibliographic review was used, notably the constitutional doctrine, as well as the study of cases brought into debate by authors who analyze the process under the eyes of the Constitution. The relevance of the subject is at the current moment of the juridical science in which the effectiveness of fundamental rights has turned into a concrete objective. It was verified the necessity to achieve an efficient and effective jurisdiction in the constitutional State and to recognize procedural guarantees as fundamental rights. In this context, the radiant effectiveness, the constitutional filtration and the multifunction of fundamental rights are approached. And the theoretical landmarks of neo-constitutionalism and neo-proceduralims are analyzed as a background for the notions developed. So the verification of the evolution of fundamental procedural rights, especially the right of action and the due process of law (fair trial), since the admission of the theory of dimensions of fundamental rights, conduce to the conclusion that heads toward the direction of a more effective judicial access. Key-words: Jus-Fundamental Norms; Right to Protection; Procedural Law; Procedure Adequacy; Due Process of Law.

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.

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.

The author, following the focus of the study on specialization of civil procedural law in the Russian legal system as manifested regularity of its development, relying on the inevitable dualism and interaction between material and procedural law, comprehends its current state on the example of certain basic procedural and legal institutions: the institution of the right of access to court, the institution of protection of the rights and interests of other persons, the institution of jurisdiction, etc. The analysis caried out within the framework of the study takes into account the Russian legislative reforms undertaken in recent decades. The author’s use of known and proposed legal constructions, categories and concepts in the author’s combination and (or) interpretation makes their research urgent for the purposes of understanding of the key conditionality of civil procedural law specialization in the Russian law system as providing them with the administration of justice and protection of rights in civil cases in compliance with their wide understanding when the right to judicial protection in the system of constitutional rights and freedoms constitutes a guarantee for all of them. This paper is the first in a series of three papers devoted to the problem of the right of access to court as the most important issue of dualism and interaction between material and civil procedural rights.

It is emphasized that the need to involve specialists who possess special knowledge appears when the participants of civil and economic proceedings lack their own capabilities and knowledge, available methods and technical means of the entity cognition of such an activity, skills in application of such means and methods are insufficient for the effective collection, analysis, evaluation and use of information, establishment of specific facts, identification of hidden links, properties, features of the studied objects, performance of other tasks. Taking into account the fact that the meaning of the term special knowledge can be most fully disclosed only in connection with the elements of the proof procedure in civil or economic proceedings, the interpretation of the concept special knowledge was analyzed by scientists.  It is emphasized that a number of scientific papers, including dissertations, is devoted to consideration, analysis, and definition of the essence of the term special knowledge through disclosing its content. Therefore, the article highlighted particular positions of scientists and authors’ opinions regarding their point of view, the position of scientists in which the criteria considered that are used while studying and defining the essence of the concept special knowledge is suggested. It is stressed that the legal limits of the use of special knowledge in civil and economic proceedings are determined by the procedural law and court, taking into consideration the rules of correspondence, admissibility, reliability and sufficiency of evidence to resolve a particular civil case or commercial dispute. It is noted that the requirements for the above criteria are ensured in the procedural legislation and their detailed characteristics are given. It is established that the grounds for the use of special knowledge are formalized and include substantive and procedural grounds, in addition, their application requires the court to correctly determine the subject of proof in the case and identify the need to use special knowledge and skills of knowledgeable persons. The authors note that in economic and civil proceedings attention is focused on different purposes of involving specialists and forensic experts and, accordingly, on differences in procedural rights and responsibilities, as well as on the procedural significance of the results of such specialists’ use of their special knowledge.

From the Marine Parade, Tankerton, Whitstable, looking East, one obtains a capital view of Tankerton Bay, Swalecliffe, in which my discoveries have been made which are to form the subject matter of this paper. The grassy cliff at Priest and Sow corner at the end of the road stands at 55 O.D. This height gradually declining round the arc of the bay, to die out entirely in the Long Rock occupying the middle distance and through which the Swalecliffe Brook discharges into the sea. Just beyond, a little to the right, are the disused Swalecliffe Brick Works, with Stud Hill and Hampton lying further back. To the left and edging the horizon, Herne Bay Pier is clearly discernable. The accompanying copy of (Plate I.) the 25-in. Ordnance map of this Tankerton Bay section gives the exact position of the 650 yards from the Parish Boundary Stone eastwards indicated thereon with a X in which are found the gravels and brick-earths which have proved so rich in archaeological treasure trove. The whole of this south-easterly directioned well-drained gently sloping ground, from the Priest and Sow corner to the Swalecliffe brook, forms an ideal camping site. Last April a paper was read by me before the Geological Association, at University College, London, entitled “An Examination of the Contents of the Brick Earths and Gravels of Tankerton Bay, Swalecliffe, Kent,” in which the geological aspect of this section was fairly exhaustively treated, so that in this particular it will be unnecessary for me to do more than give a brief summary of the results of that examination as to the relative age and stratigraphical sequence of the Drift material found here overlying the London Clay.

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.
