MODERNIZATION AND FUNCTIONING OF PRINCIPLES OF CIVIL PROCEDURAL LAW OF UKRAINE IN THE CONTEXT OF EUROPEAN INTEGRATION PROCESSES by Olga Voloshchenko

“…The doctrinal study of the processes of novelization of the principles of civil procedural law in the light of European integration processes made it possible to formulate the following theses: expanding the list of sources of civil procedural law, as a way of revising the principle of the Rule of Law, strengthened the latter both in the aspect of expanding the tools for ensuring the competitiveness of the process and in the processes of law-making and application practice; precedent practice of the Grand Chamber of the Supreme Court is considered as an element of legal certainty of the principle of the rule of law; it legally enshrined possibility of filing a claim using the "Electronic Court" services strengthened the principle of the Rule of Law in terms of ensuring human rights, as well as expanded the mechanisms of dominance and implementation of the principle of dispositiveness (in terms of the possibility of choosing methods of filing claims on the merits of the case, etc.); it was established that the establishment of the principle of proportionality in Article 11 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of Ukraine is an additional guarantee of ensuring the proper justification of the decision made by the judge (in the context of writing the motivational part of the court decision). …”
