The development of judicial procedures is an indicator of increasing complexity of civil procedure, a clear manifestation of the general pattern – unification and differentiation of civil procedural form. And one of the main tasks of the legislator is to make sure that the objective complexity of the legal space does not lead to complication of the access to judicial protection for interested persons. This thesis, put forward by the author, acts as one of the key ideas of this study and is disclosed in the article in terms of “incomplete” judicial procedures. The “incomplete” judicial procedures, according to the author’s conception, include simplified proceedings, absentee proceeding, court-ordered proceedings and proceedings on insignificant claims. The latter should be understood as proceedings before a justice of the peace in action cases (see clauses 2–5 part 1 of Article 23 of the Civil Procedure Code of the RF). In conclusion it is concluded that the procedural nature of the Russian process, laid down in the codes of the early 20th century, now acquires conceptual importance, which requires a different methodology to solve current legislative problems. The procedures we have considered is a “litmus test” of the methods of justice, which allows us to comprehend the general vector of the further path of civilizational process reform.
