Ways of Filling Gaps in Soviet Legislation on Questions Of International Civil Procedure

Abstract

Soviet civil law and civil procedure underwent a period of renovation in 1961-1965. In December of 1961 we adopted the Principles of Civil Legislation and the Principles of Civil Procedure of the USSR and the Union Republics, which served as the basis for the new codes of civil law and civil procedure in the union republics. These Principles also contain a number of norms of international private law (including norms of international civil procedure) which have been embodied without change in the new codes of civil law and civil procedure.
