STANDARDS OF FAIR JUSTICE IN ECONOMIC COURTS IN CONDITIONS OF REFORM

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to study the problematic issues related to the implementation of fair justice standards in economic courts and to develop possible ways to solve them. The article states that in connection with the proclamation of the course of integration into the European Community and the approximation of the Ukrainian legal system to European and world standards, the introduction into Ukrainian law of provisions that exist for some time in international law is one of the important steps towards this goal. Ukraine’s accession to international conventions, taking into account international case law are one of the conditions for Ukraine’s transition to full-fledged market relations, sustainable economic development, as well as ensuring stability in economic activity, which is the most pressing problem in modern times. It is emphasized that fair justice cannot be administered at the national level without defining the institutional system. That is, the judiciary can be only organizational and financially independent bodies that are created and operate on the basis of law. It is noted that the element of fair justice is possible to determine the principle of procedural equality of the parties, which is defined as an integral element by which each party is given a reasonable opportunity to participate in the proceedings. Emphasis is placed on the principles of competition, accessibility and publicity. It was emphasized that not only the consideration of the case in court, but also other elements of the proceedings should be public. Of particular importance is the availability of judicial acts for public review, the publicity of the final stage of the proceedings. It is noted that the elements of the standard of fair justice have their own characteristics, due to the level of economic and social development, national and cultural traditions. At the same time, it is emphasized that there is a convergence of justice systems, due to the common problems that arise in today’s globalized world. In Ukraine, standards of fair justice must be implemented taking into account national characteristics and traditions. Conclusions and suggestions are made.
