STUDYING UKRAINIAN CIVIL PROCEDURE LAW IN THE EARLY 3 d MILLENNIUM

Abstract

The article is dedicated to the gains, problems, and perspectives of studying the Ukrainian civil procedure law. It covers polythematic studies of the Ukrainian civil procedure law presented in dissertations. Despite the updates to the civil procedure laws of Ukraine, not all the civil procedure regulations and institutions (sources of the civil procedure law, evaluation categories in civil procedure law, civil jurisdiction, entities subject to civil procedure law, electronic evidence, legal expert’s opinions, measures of procedural compulsion, specifics of considering and settling civil cases of certain categories through the appeal and cassation procedure, specifics of considering by court the claims for imposing restrictions on an individual for gambling and attending gambling events, specifics of considering by court the claims for issuing and prolonging a restrictive injunction, judicial control of the execution of civil judgements, resuming the lost proceedings by court) were the subject of the scientific research; many of them require a systematic analysis to be carried out by experts. The article states that the Ukrainian civil procedure studies lack the comparative legal research including the Ukrainian and foreign practices (first of all, those existing in the European Union and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, the Great Britain, the United States of America). The next pieces of research may focus on how the scientific thought is and will be developing in terms of the notarial and enforcement law and process. It is worth specifying the past, present, and future of the legal studies dedicated to the alternative forms of settling civil disputes.
