A Brief Overview of the State of Scientific Development of the Problem of Procedural Guarantees of the Rights of Parties in Civil Proceedings

Introduction. One of the possible areas of legislative work is the development and improvement of procedural guarantees of the rights of the parties in civil proceedings. The qualitative reform of justice in civil cases directly depends on the precise definition of the necessary procedural guarantees of the rights of the parties, requirements for the judiciary and the civil procedural form of its implementation.

The aim of the article. The purpose of this study is to review the issue of procedural rights of parties in civil proceedings. 

Results. Modern legal scholars’ study procedural guarantees in terms of the functions of justice, the implementation of the principles of civil procedure and the impact of information technology on their content, civil procedural status, procedures for reviewing court decisions and protecting the rights and interests of the defendant, and a number of others. 

Conclusions. Despite the objective number of subjects of research in civil procedural science, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the vast majority of them are directly related or tangential to one of the main goals of scientific analysis — formulation of a long-term forecast for the development of the civil jurisdiction, improvement of the efficiency of justice in civil cases, and ensuring the right to a fair trial and enforcement of court decisions. One of the possible directions of theory and practice in this context is the development and improvement of procedural guarantees of the rights of the parties in civil proceedings. The civil court procedure should provide not only for the sequence of procedural activities of the court, but also for broad procedural opportunities for the interested parties to protect and defend their rights and interests. 

The article focuses on the importance of developing the doctrine of procedural guarantees in civil proceedings, which is based on theoretical provisions which reveal the purpose of civil procedural activity, the main principles and stages of its conduct, scientific and applied approaches to its regulatory framework and the possibilities of improving civil procedural legislation.

Key words: procedural guarantees, principles of civil proceedings, efficiency of justice, Civil Procedure Code of Ukraine, court procedures.
