The impact of the Constitution of Ukraine on sectoral legislation and its significance for establishing the scope of civil proceedings

The issue of the infl uence of the Constitution of Ukraine on civil procedural legislation is a topical one. Despite the ongoing importance of this issue, it is, in our opinion, premature to assert that any holistic concept of the impact of the Constitution of Ukraine on sectoral legislation and the establishment of the spheres of legal regulation has been completed. It is obvious that the Constitution of Ukraine can and should become a proper methodological basis for the formation, interpretation and improvement of national legislation. In this sense, the words of O. Skrypnyuk are indicative of the fact that today one of the strongest and most powerful factors in the development of social and legal relations in our country is the Constitution of Ukraine adopted in 1996. The study of the signifi cance of the Constitution of Ukraine, its impact on the formation and development of statehood, introduction and implementation of the requirements of democracy and law is one of the priority areas of national legal science. We believe that the doctrinal study of the functions of the Constitution of Ukraine will only continue, but at a new stage of development of constitutional and legal thought in Ukraine, and further formation of a democratic and legal state in our country. As a rule, in legal theory, it is customary to distinguish the following general legal functions of the Constitution: regulatory, constituent and law enforcement. To varying degrees, they infl uence the development of the entire system of social relations. The legal function of the Constitution is manifested in the fact that national legislation is developed in accordance with its provisions. Obviously, the development of civil proceedings and their doctrine should be based on the provisions of the Constitution of Ukraine as one of the main methodological platforms for improving procedural legislation and its application. In our opinion, this makes it important to study the essence of judicial power and its exercise in civil proceedings, theoretical issues of justice in civil cases and the rule of law in the context of forming a new system of principles of procedural activity.

Key words: constitution, civil proceedings, judicial system, principles, legislation, civil procedural law.
